Dinghy thieves leave Roland, 75, marooned

THIEVES who stole a dinghy have left a pensioner with no way of getting to his boat.

Roland Le Prevost rowed out in the dinghy on a Saturday in mid-May and sailed to Herm in his boat.

He left the punt on top of Le Crocq at the Bridge but when he returned at 10am last Sunday, it had gone.

Mr Le Prevost, 75, notified the police. Sergeant Andy Jones said officers were investigating the case, had contacted boat exchanges and checked all car parks and parking places around the island as well as various marine areas.
