Police are investigating the theft of two outboard motors.
The motors were stolen from an unattended boat at the boat-park on Breakwater Road, Port Erin, some time between July 13 and 27.
One motor is a 6HP Mariner engine, the other is a 2.5HP Yamaha engine, both are silvery-blue in colour, they have a combined value of £1,800.
Constable Adrian Brooks said: ‘These are valuable items and have left the victim facing a large bill to replace them. Fortunately, these type of incidents are not a regular occurrence, but nonetheless boat owners are asked to take extra care to secure their boats and associated equipment.
‘During the summer months the areas in the vicinity of boat parks are generally frequented by a large number of people, and police would ask that members of the public be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.’
Anybody with any information about this matter should contact Port Erin police station on 832222.
