LOCATION: Saint Lucia – Laborie Bay
EVENT: Attempted Theft
HAND: 1
STOLEN ITEMS: unsuccessful
SECURED: Locked
DETAILS: At 2300HRS the crew onboard a catamaran anchored near the dock in Laborie Bay, St. Lucia, heard a suspicious loud bang at their stern where their dinghy was chain locked. The captain investigated and noted 3 men in a local boat who then drifted off a bit and then again came close and attempted to claim they were the police and began “interrogating” the captain about illegal drugs and weapons. They threatened the captain and crew and mimed shooting a gun at the yacht.
The captain shown a bright spotlight on the men, and they departed to the nearby town dock. After retrieving some rocks ashore, the 3 men went to the end of the dock and began throwing them in the direction of the yacht (out of range) and swearing. Nothing was stolen. The captain contacted the Laborie police by phone, who were immediately responsive and checked the (empty) local boat at the dock. The police also followed up again the next morning by phone.
