The police in Örnsköldsvik are currently experiencing an increase in boat-related thefts.

- That's the feeling right now.

The summer has been nice, there is a large selection.

There are many boats in the water, including boat carriages on land, says Jimmy Kavenstrand.

May be forced to return stolen goods

According to Jimmy Kavenstrand, it can sometimes be difficult to clarify who the actual owner is, when the police find stolen goods.

If things are unmarked and unregistered, the situation can become problematic.

- In a couple of cases, unfortunately, the police and prosecutors have to return stolen goods to a thief.

Which feels incredibly unfortunate, he says.
