LOCATION: Honduras – Roatan – Coxen Hole
EVENT: Assault
HAND: 1
STOLEN ITEMS: Cash, backpack, cellphone
SECURED: Not Locked
DETAILS:
A yacht anchored alone in Coxen Hole. On the second night at 0230HRS two masked and armed men boarded through the lit cockpit/open companionway.
They proceeded to tie the crew at gunpoint with braided shoelaces they had brought with them and covered their victim’s face with a t-shirt.
They ransacked the forward cabin briefly and took cash, a phone and a backpack they had emptied. The boarders spoke a non-Spanish local language and were onboard for only 3-5 minutes before leaving the scene with their accomplices in a panga. The crew was not injured.
A police report was made. Authorities showed little interest, no forensics were collected.
The yacht departed later the same day.
