CrimeCanada.ca Safety Perspective

From a CrimeCanada.ca perspective, thefts targeting boats, motors, and marine equipment are not just property crimes—they directly affect local residents, tourism operators, and the broader coastal economy in communities like St. Andrews. Waterfront areas and marinas often become targets during overnight hours when visibility and natural surveillance are low. Staying informed about active investigations through our ongoing Safety Alerts can help residents recognize patterns, report suspicious activity early, and protect their own property.

We encourage boat owners and wharf users across New Brunswick to lock or remove portable motors when possible, secure fuel tanks and paddles, record serial numbers, and consider lighting or camera coverage near moored vessels. Prompt reporting—whether directly to the RCMP or anonymously through Crime Stoppers—plays a crucial role in recovering stolen property and deterring repeat offences. Community vigilance and cooperation with police are key to maintaining safe and secure waterfronts.
