Stolen outboards

If this is in the wrong section Mods please move.

Not much information as to makes & models but:

Helford River Boats Ltd on 9th September
"Thieves!
Unfortunately we've been hit by land based theiving scum who've stolen engines from boats on the beach at Helford Passage. Nothing taken from engine store but most on the beach have been bolt cropped and fuel lines cut. Can only presume it was early hours of the morning but obviously if anyone has any info or is offered a dinghy sized outboard please let us or the police know. We're still trying to work out how many have gone but it could be as many as 8!
Police have been informed and will be attending (at some point); any customers who've been targeted please call 101 and quote the crime reference DCP 20200909-0149 so that it can all be tied up together."

Gutting for all affected but if that was your much anticipated holiday taking the boat with you even more so.

Camel River thefts.

"Not a great image but these 3 and one other helped themselves to some outboard engines in Rock last night between midnight and 1.30 travelling in a dark coloured car similar to a Ford Galaxy style. Would really quite like our engines back now please !! It’s been a hard enough season without this !"
