The Cocorite Fishing Facility, a vital hub for the fishing industry in Trinidad and Tobago, has been the target of a series of thefts. Over the past few weeks, several fishing pirogues, which are traditional wooden boats used for fishing, have been stolen from the facility. The thefts have caused significant disruption to the fishing industry, impacting both local fishermen and the economy.
This was a significant loss for the owner, who was a renowned angler and had invested heavily in his equipment. The owner was devastated by the theft, and the incident highlighted the vulnerability of high-value items to theft. The theft occurred in a secure location, a private residence with a high-quality security system. The security system included a sophisticated alarm system, motion sensors, and cameras.
Anyone with information on the crime is urged to call Crimestoppers at 800-TIPS or contact the nearest police station.
