| Source Type | 1st Hand Report |
| Incident Details | Owners left their catamaran on the hard at Clarke's Court Bay Boatyard in June 2019, when they returned in January 2020 the office staff was unable to locate the keys that had been left with the office staff. Key control procedures were clearly not in place/operational. The keys were eventually located by the owners in the possession of their (offsite) hired minders/guardianage company. ||The yachts 110lb watermaker was stolen during the storage period. Hoses and electrical connections had been severed, and all the holding bolts removed. Access to the watermaker was via an external engine compartment, which was not locked. Photos provided by the guardianage company did not include the area of the engine compartment where the watermaker was installed, so were not helpful in pinpointing the time of the theft. No video surveillance was present in this storage area.||The owners reported the theft to the boatyard office, and contacted the police. The police sent 2 detectives who talked with the victims, but took no photos or any forensics, despite the offer of the owners to preserve the scene. The owner visited the police department a few days later, paid a small administrative fee (US $3) and was promised an email copy of the report, which has not yet been received. |

| Incident Details | A yacht arrived for its first visit in Luperon and took a mooring. They went ashore and completed checkin procedures with Customs and Immigration. They queried the Capitania about any other requirements, and he shrugged. Later, back at the yacht a boat with two uniformed Navy persons with automatic weapons arrived to complete an inspection. They conducted a very thorough investigation and found a key hidden out side and also a jewelry pouch that was well hidden deep in a locker. They completed their report and asked for a "gratuity" and were given a small sum (USD 10) , and they departed.||Later the crew went ashore from 7-10 PM, when they returned to the yacht the door was locked as they had left it, but the crew was unsure if all closed hatches had been locked. Upon entering a sleeping cabin they discovered the jewelry pouch sitting on the bed and open, and all but 2 pieces missing. Left behind was some costume jewelry, everything else had been taken (rings, watches, necklaces, earrings). No other lockers seemed to be disturbed, and no electronics were taken – tablets, camera, TV, printer, router, were all were visible and out. ||The crew was understandably concerned about the roles officials may have taken in this theft. They departed the Dominican Republic on good weather a few days later. No police report was made before departure.||CSSN NOTE: The victims have indicated a willingness to complete a police report by email/phone. Stakeholders in Luperon are asked to encourage the correct Police party to contact CSSN at safetyandsecuritynet@gmail.com to facilitate this process. |
