Distinctive outboard jet motor sought
Police are seeking
information in relation to the theft of a distinctive Yamaha
outboard jet motor taken from an address in Flatbush, South
Auckland on Saturday 10 September 2016.
The Yamaha outboard has a specialised jet attachment which has been imported from overseas.
There are very few models similar to this in New Zealand.
Counties Manukau Police Tactical Crime Unit supervisor Sergeant John Roberts said that the thieves did not take the specialised fuel control unit so would need to source this prior to being able to use it.
“This is a very unusual motor and turns heads whenever it has been used,” said Sergeant Roberts.
“Someone will recognise it and we are very interested in holding these offenders to account”.
Police ask anyone with information on this stolen outboard to contact Sergeant Roberts on (09) 261 1300 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
