This morning, the military of the Naples Naval Air Operations Department found in Mergellina a vessel stolen from the port of Salerno during the night of August 12.

The searches were triggered following the complaint filed by the owner at the Naval Operations Section of the Guardia di Finanza in Salerno.

The military personnel of the Neapolitan naval unit, immediately informed of the theft, during an economic control service of the coast, found the vessel while it was being hauled up with a crane on board a truck.

The discovery was possible thanks to the timely examination of the GPS track on board.

The driver of the truck has been reported to the competent judicial authority for receiving stolen goods, although investigations are underway to identify other individuals involved.

Administrative sanctions were imposed on the driver of the truck, who was driving without documents and despite the vehicle being subject to administrative seizure and without an MOT.

On the same day the rubber dinghy of about 8 meters with outboard motor was returned to the owner.

Sea controls intensified during the August bank holiday

In the coming days, coinciding with the Ferragosto holiday, a further intensification of the Maritime Police services is expected given the progressive increase in recreational traffic with particular reference to the most touristic locations.

All navies have been alerted to the increase in vessel thefts so that maximum attention can be paid to their safekeeping, even by pleasure boaters, with particular attention to those with boats anchored in the harbour.
