Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for large ship’s wheel, which they say was stolen from a popular Winnipeg riverboat.

The Paddlewheel Princess, which provides tours on the Red River, was broken into between August 22 and August 23 while docked, police said in a release.

The culprit made off with the ship’s steering wheel, which is described by police as being a “large, wooden spiked steering wheel” and “typically used for large boats/ships.”
