The theft took place between 9pm on Saturday July 20, 2013 and 4am the next morning. The 5.2 meter craft and 50hp Yamaha engine have a combined value of about £5,000.
Investigating officer PCSO Derek Howard of the East Cowes Safer Neighbourhoods team said: The Valiant inflatable rib, was stolen from moorings, near to the Folly Inn, Whippingham. The RIB is red, with a black strip around the tubes, with black anti fouling. An 'A' frame is situated at the rear. On top of the 'A' frame is a small solar panel, supplying power to the battery. The RIB has two white bench seats, with blue waterproof covers. Very faintly the words, 'AAA MARINE', are visible on the tubes. A Yamaha 50hp engine was also stolen with the RIB
"I am appealing to anyone that may have been in the vicinity during those times, who may have noticed anything suspicious." I can be contacted at the East Cowes Safer Neighbourhoods team office on 101. "
