Police are appealing for information after several boats were damaged and tanks of fuel stolen in St Brelade's Bay and La Rocque Harbour in Grouville.

Five boats were tampered with overnight between Tuesday 3 October and Wednesday 4 October in the bay next to the Fisherman’s Chapel.

Two tanks of RIB fuel were stolen as well as a 25 litre orange fuel tank. Some of the boats also had fuel stolen and fuel pipes cut.

Another full fuel container was stolen from a boat moored at La Rocque Harbour between 27 September and Sunday 8 October.

Police are now urging boat owners to be "extra vigilant" and to remove valuable items from their boats when they are left unattended in order to reduce the risk of theft.
