A high-end ski and wakeboard boat was stolen in Lakeside last month and law enforcement is recovering it piece by piece, according to the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Chuck Curry said the Tige Z1 boat, which is valued at roughly $90,000-$100,0000, had never even been in the water when it was parked overnight in Lakeside on June 16. The following morning it was gone.
“It is unusual to have a boat theft,” Curry said.
The Flathead County Sheriff has worked with law enforcement in the Polson area and has recovered parts of the boat. However, they are still missing the largest piece, the hull. Curry said they have a suspect in custody on unrelated charges and the county attorney’s office is considering filing felony theft charges against the man.
