2069 – Burglary in Grenada – Grenada – Chemin Bay

Incident Date: 2016-09-26 at 04:00

Event Type: Burglary

Stolen Items: Flare gun

Secured: Locked

Source Type: 2nd Hand Report

Incident Details: Three yachts moored on private moorings in Chemin Bay were similarly vandalised overnight. All were unoccupied but locked. All 3 boats were ransacked. Lockers were opened and the contents strewn about the cabin sole. Power tools, hand tools, cell phones and radios were left behind, only a flare gun was taken from one of the affected yachts. The police and Coast Guard were notified. The police believe the thief stole a local dinghy to gain access, it was found abandoned in the nearby mangroves. The police indicated that they have a suspect who is known to have done this type of thing previously. CSSN NOTE: These 3 incidents are very similar to 3 that occured in this same bay in late 2014, the thief seemingly had a “shopping list” on those occasions as well.
