Detectives are investigating the theft of electronics from
three boats at Duck Key Marina.
The crimes were reported Saturday morning by an employee of
the Marina. He told Deputy Rosary Ponce someone had entered three vessels
taking high-end multi-functional displays from each one. The values of the
displays range from $1,500 to $3,500.00.
The boats the items were stolen from included a 27 foot Sea
Vee, a 33 foot Scout and a 29 foot Pro Sport LLC. All three vessels were inside
a fenced, gated area at the rear.
Sheriff Rick Ramsay would like to take this opportunity to
remind everyone not to leave expensive items on their vessels at any time.
Remove electronics, fishing equipment and dive equipment from the boat and
secure it somewhere safe. Because of the number of boats in Monroe County, thieves
see our area as a good opportunity to steal such items. Prevent this type of
crime by removing the opportunity.
Anyone with information about these crimes should contact
the Sheriff's Office. Callers who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime
Stoppers of the Florida Keys. If a Crimestoppers tip leads to an arrest, the
caller would be eligible for a cash reward. The Crimestoppers hot line number
is 1-800-346-TIPS. Tips may be made anonymously on line at www.tipsubmit.com or
via a text message to 274637 using the keyword TIP136.
