UPDATE 5:30 p.m.

The mysterious giant ice cream cone has been returned to its rightful owners.

It had been taken from Sweet Cravings gellato shop on Bernard Avenue.

Police are investigating a "cold case" that took one Kelowna resident by surprise, Sunday morning.

According to Const. Steve Holmes, a homeowner on Bertram Street awoke to find a gigantic ice cream cone on his front lawn.

"The homeowner stated he had no idea how the four-foot-tall cone managed to find its way onto his lawn and, though tempted to keep it, he called police as he was not a fan of a cone that had whipped cream on top.”

Police canvassed the neighbourhood to find out the scoop on this mystery, but were unable to come up with a lick of evidence.

The colossal cone now remains in the care of the RCMP, as police continue to look for the owner.

"Police are asking the owner not to waffle, but to come forward as soon as possible with the cold, hard facts on the ownership of this cool exhibit,” says Holmes.
