Annecy. The engine of the fireboat stolen from the marquisates
Bad surprise for firefighters this morning of Tuesday, May 17. Warned by a couple around 6 a.m., they found that their rescue boat, which anchored at the marquisates, had been vandalized. Indeed, the shuttle’s engine has simply disappeared.
“A team went to the scene and found that the padlocks had indeed been cut, that the boat was moored in a more distant sector and that the engine was missing. It has obviously been carefully dismantled,” said the Codis 74.
“The boat was almost on the tarmac this morning at 5:45 a.m., testifies Christian and Josette, who were going fishing when they called 18. There were ropes everywhere in the water, an open trunk and two life jackets in a mess in the boat. »
The firefighters filed a complaint at the police station. The prefect of Haute-Savoie, Alain Espinasse, a convict of this theft.
The president of the department and the departmental fire and rescue service, Martial Saddier, reacted strongly. “Any theft, by definition, is outrageous, but stealing an engine from a clearly identified rescue boat is a shame,” he said.
