Police recover alleged stolen jet ski

Noosa police last week charged a 37-year-old Tewantin man after investigations into a string of recent offences reported across the Noosa River and its tributaries.

Charges include Enter and Commit an Indictable Offence on a Vessel, Unlawful Use of a Vessel (jet ski), fuel theft and other theft from vessels moored along the river, drug offences and property suspected stolen offences.

During the Investigations police searched a Tewantin residence and located property suspected of being stolen from the vessel Catalina.

Police also retrieved a Kawasaki jet ski valued at $20,000 from mangroves that they believed to be stolen from Noosa Inlet on 25 February 2019.

The man is due to appear in the Noosa Magistrates Court on 19 March.

He was released on strict bail conditions which include him not being permitted on a powered or unpowered vessel along the Noosa River or its tributaries.

Investigations are ongoing.
