Officers received a tip Monday about the location of the boat and trailer, which had been reported stolen Sunday, the release stated.
The police found the trailer and boat motor on Lake Street and obtained a description of the suspect and the vehicle reported to have been used in the crime, according to the release.
After locating the trailer, officers found the suspect vehicle traveling on Prospect Street and conducted a traffic stop, the release stated.
Officers determined that the boat had been taken to a scrap yard and were able to retrieve it, the BPD reported.
