HAND: 2
STOLEN ITEMS: AB dinghy / Yamaha 15HP outboard
SECURED: Not Locked
DETAILS: Owners tied their dinghy to the dinghy dock in Tyrrell Bay and went to dinner ashore. When they returned the dinghy was gone. The next day an intermediary arranged for the return of the dinghy he claimed had been “found” by a fisherman offshore and collected a $800 “fee”. No police report was made.
CSSN NOTE: recently in a separate case the Grenada CG required a sworn statement from someone who was claiming to have “found” a dinghy/outboard for which a reward had been offered. The “finder” failed to make the required statement, no reward was paid and the dinghy was returned to the owner.
