EVENT: Theft
HAND: 1

DETAILS:
Cruisers walked to a remote NE beach on Mayreau. They observed a thief come from the bushes and steal their bag containing a phone, cash and credit card. They gave chase but were not successful. They did find a knife the thief had dropped.
A report was made to the police and Coast Guard, who seem to be very familiar with the individual who was identified. He confessed, surrendered the phone (not the cash or credit card) and they took him into custody and transported him to Union Island. He has other similar charges outstanding and was expected to be released pending trial.
