The Bay of Plenty Dragon Flyers have some great news.
Their paddles and some personal items stolen over the weekend have now been recovered by police.
“We are stoked to share that all of our BOP Dragon Flyers paddles, as well as our friend’s personal waka and DB paddles, were retrieved by the police,” a team spokesperson said today.
“A fair amount of kit and and gear is still missing but this is a win after a devastating couple of days.”
Bay of Plenty Dragon Boat Club president Brooke Hargreaves said she had a message from one of the paddlers to say police had recovered the paddles.
