Boat stolen from Snug Harbour
(CNS): Police are asking the public for help to locate a stolen Twin Vee boat, which is 14 feet in length, with a blue Bimini canvas top and a 60hp Suzuki engine. It was taken from a dock at the rear of a residence on Canal Point Drive in the Snug Harbour area of George Town this week. The owner discovered it was missing at 1:30pm yesterday. Police were unable to supply a picture of the small boat.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Joint Marine Unit at 649-7710. Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via the Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, via the Miami-based call centre of Crime Stoppers at 800-8477(TIPS), or online here.
Did them a favour… Twin Vee are junk.
Just came home from work to find a drone hovering over my boat – couldn’t see operator. Is this how they are choosing the boat? Maybe I will have to sleep on it tonight!
It’s pretty disturbing, the level of organized crime here in Cayman.
Honestly, how can anyone work all day while monitoring their assets?
Can’t work.
Indeed. Sexual predators seem to be around every corner, 9 break-ins over just one weekend ….And there is only 55K people in this country. How many come and go on boats is unknown.
The sexual predators are more than welcome to leave on 14 foot boats in 6 foot seas!
Set a trap for the thieves and then the police will be hunting you, not dealing with the thieves. The trespasser is always give right, while the complainant is given wrong.
Eliminate them, that way their will be less nusiances around because they are only sent to the hotel for a few weeks, only to return to carry on their lucrative trade.
Highly doubt they can make it to Jamaica in a 14foot
If the weather is good you can practically go anywhere in a “14 foot” including Jamaica lol….really?
You stay indoors and far from adventure – stick to your desk and 4 walls…stop passing nonchalant incorrect info online.
I grew up and work on the ocean Jack ass,and there ain’t no way in this world anyone’s going 200 miles to Jamaica on a 14ft boat,don’t care how good the weather is,one of the deepest waters in the world runs in between Cayman an Jamaica,plus the amount of gas to get there with probably couldn’t even hold on a 14ft boat.why don’t you do the Cayman islands a favor and wait until the weather is good and get on a 14ft boat and head out to where ever you came from.then we can also read about you on cns.
i am sure as history dictated…it will probably show up in jamaica….
Where is the lmao button?
In a 14 footer? Range is like 20 miles on that thing.
Seems to me that instead of wasting millions to implement a tracking system for vehicles, Government should have invested in such a system to track marine craft. The benefits regarding border security vis-a-vis tracking unlicensed vehicles are obvious.
Can law enforcement conclusively say that boats stolen in Cayman aren’t used in smuggling contraband back into our islands?
You hit the nail on the head.
They will not conclusive say that, but we ALL know that it’s happening.
These thugs steal your boat, take a ride over to Jamaica and you never see or hear of your craft again! Then someone comes back in that same craft (except it now looks completely different to when you had it!) with guns and drugs to sell/trade etc.
Lets all be honest about the facts here in Cayman; our tiny islands are used as a central washing board for all sorts of illegal activities and for that same reason we have harbored many criminals here for many years.
You ever hear the politicians in Cayman address the level of crime here or have an open debate about what can be done to address the issue? (crickets)
The truth is many of our successful/well respected Caymanian business men got their initial cash injections from drug money.
And still getting injections apparently; proof is in the pudding.
And stealing the payroll from projects like the Panama Canal!
Boat owners can and probably should purchase a commercially available tracker and install it somewhere in the boat. this will alert the owner when the boat moves from a specified location and be trackable. this does require a subscription service, but it does not require any expense on the Police.
These criminals are on another level; they will rip your security system from your boat and then they gone!!!!
