The two unknown men rented three buckets of golf balls for a $45 fee, but they allegedly loaded the buckets full of balls into their Suzuki Sidekick and drove away.

In total, the 360 golf balls are worth more than $400.

Anyone who can help the RCMP identify the two men, who were caught on video surveillance, is asked to contact Solana Paré of the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

“We would also like to encourage the two men, to demonstrate the proper 'etiquette' and come forward to speak with police, or at least return what doesn't rightfully belong to them,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey.
