Based on information received, Fernandes secured his 200hp Yamaha outboard boat and engine at the back of his home which is just about 100 feet from the bay.
When he got up Monday, he saw the boat and engine missing. He did several checks in and around Chinese Landing but came up without a hand. However, the Toshao received information from people in the area where they named a suspect who broke the boat’s rope and was seen heading toward the Waini river with the boat.
The victim then made a report over the cellphone to Acquero Police Station.
Police are searching for the suspect, as well as the boat and engine.
Investigations are ongoing.
