Hobart Police are currently investigating a number of burglaries from vessels berthed at the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania.

Initial enquiries indicate that at approximately 01:00am on Wednesday the 12 June 2013 two males unlawfully entered the Derwent Sailing Squadron and removed a dinghy which they then used to access vessels berthed at the Royal Yacht Club.

Eleven vessels have been boarded with entry gained to three, from which diving and marine equipment with a value of approximately $2000 was stolen. These items were later recovered nearby by police.

Anyone who may have seen two males acting suspiciously in the Sandy Bay Road/Marieville Esplanade area are urged to contact police.

Information can be passed anonymously via Crime Stoppers on telephone number 1800 333 000.
