A paddler made an unusual discovery while out on the Fraser River in Fort 91原创 Wednesday morning.

At 9 a.m., police recovered a brown 2016 Tesla S model from the Fraser River. The electric vehicle had been stolen from Burnaby the night before, said 91原创 RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy.

The paddler assisted police in retrieving a large bag of onions that had floated away from being inside the vehicle.

Where the Tesla was located is a fair distance from the boat launch so it must have floated.

鈥淲hy they had a big bag of onions is anyone鈥檚 guess,鈥 noted the paddler.
