Two Men Rescued After Marine Incident

At approximately 5:35pm today marine police were dispatched to a report of an 18 foot fishing boat that capsized just off Devonshire Bay. Two males aged 40 and 60 were assisted to the shore and both appear to be fine. In the abundance of caution both men were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where they are being treated for non-life threatening injures. The fishing boat was severely damaged and has sunk.

Marine police are advising the maritime community to exercise caution when going out on the water as we are expecting very rough and unpredictable waters for the next few days.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
