It is a type of delinquency that has been repeated for some time in Guadeloupe. Boats owners are victims of theft. This is what happened in the night from Friday to Saturday to Bruno Balager who saw his boat moored in the Bay of Deshaies, disappear. The boating suspects a network of smugglers who would organize migrant crossings thanks to these rather practical boats.
More than 50,000 euros in damage for Bruno Balager’s boat which was his second house. Its 25 -foot trophy was stolen in the night from Friday to Saturday last Saturday (May 2 to 3). So this morning, the boating goes around the dealerships because he wishes to get a new boat. But Bruno Balager is still very affected by the flight.
It is our boat for retirement, it is our secondary residence so indeed it is very complicated to live at the moment.

In the port of Deshaies, thieves have operated in peace and apparently methodically. The double anchoring was lifted and the boat was fired outside the bay.
In no way, it could be a dropout of the anchors, especially since it was double anchoring with 25 to 30 kg of anchors at the bottom of 25 meters so it’s impossible

Despite the support of the gendarmerie cross and a few fishermen, the boat was not found. The boating suspects a network of smugglers who would organize migrant crossings thanks to these rather practical boats.
These are boats that have the opportunity to go far at sea, which are doubly motorized with fairly powerful engines.

The problem now for the boate: to get a new boat. But its fear now is that other flights of this type are increasing in Guadeloupe.
All boaters must be extremely cautious and can attach their boats and perhaps secure them a little more important than it is currently.

Because these networks act by bait of gain and are more and more imaginative. Boats have already been found modified in Guadeloupe.
