Coral Harbour Base (RBDF Sept 22) –The Royal Bahamas
Defence Force’s Harbour Patrol Unit received reports concerning a 26-foot sport
fishing vessel, named “Papa B” that was stolen from the Fox Hill Creek Canal early Monday morning. Acting on intelligence received, the Unit
immediately
dispatched two patrol vessels to investigate, which led them to a
remote area in the Sea Breeze Canal where the vessel was found by Defence Force
Marines. A 17-foot Boston Whaler that was later confirmed as stolen was also
found by Defence Force Marines in the same area. Subsequently, the two stolen
vessels were towed to Harbour Patrol Unit were the matter was turned over to
Police for further investigation.
The Defence Force expresses its gratitude to the Bahamian
public for helping the Defence Force to achieve greater success in fulfilling
its mandate to “Guard our Heritage.”
