Hi there
Our local river Teign Shaldon Boat Owners association report that they have been informed of 17 reported thefts from or of boats this year . This is a vast increase in reported marine crime. Sometimes discarded fuel tanks have been reported by general good natured public found in hedge rows alongside local roads.
The Shaldon Boat Owners Association members aim to perform beach patrols during, what is expected to be, high risk theft times, acting as a visible deterrent to thieves.
The Association is keen to attract new members from the local Teignmouth Harbour moorings area in an effort to beef up these patrols.
Like wise the Teignmouth Boat Club perform evening anti theft patrols on the Teignmouth bank moorings.
