Brazen Daylight Theft at Just Catamarans in Dania Beach: Suspect Sought
Dania Beach, FL – In a bold daylight robbery, a large African American man stole approximately $16,000 worth of yacht technology from Just Catamarans, a local marina business, on a busy summer day.
The incident occurred when the marina’s warehouse doors were open, facilitating the day’s bustling business activities. The suspect entered the warehouse, walked around as if he owned the place, and meticulously selected the equipment he wanted before making his exit.
Employees were unaware of the theft until after the suspect had already left the premises. The man loaded the stolen items into a white pickup truck and drove off without arousing any suspicion.
The stolen items, crucial for yacht navigation and operation, are highly valuable and specialized. The suspect’s ability to time his actions perfectly to avoid detection suggests a level of planning and familiarity with the business’s operations.
Local authorities are now investigating the theft and have urged the public to come forward with any information that could help identify the suspect. “We are looking for any leads that could help us track down this individual,” said a representative from the Dania Beach Sheriff’s Department. “If you recognize this man or have any information regarding the incident, please contact us immediately.”
Just Catamarans, known for its wide range of yacht services and products, expressed their concern and disappointment over the incident. “We are deeply troubled by this theft and are cooperating fully with the police investigation. Our primary focus is ensuring the security of our operations and the safety of our customers’ property,” said a spokesperson for the company.
The police are asking anyone with information to contact the Dania Beach Sheriff’s Department or Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. The community’s assistance is crucial in recovering the stolen technology and apprehending the suspect.
As summer activities peak, businesses and patrons in the marina area are reminded to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.
