First Armed Robbery Aboard Reported on Tyrrel Bay

This certainly isn't the first time we've heard of an armed robbery on board in the Caribbean, but it's the first time one for Tyrrel Bay has been reported to the Caribbean Security and Safety Net, so it's worth noting.

Shortly after midnight on December 14, four masked men armed with at least one machete boarded a yacht anchored in Tyrrel Bay just after the crew returned from shore.

The boarders tied up the captain, beating him severely, and tied a plastic bag over the head of the woman. They then proceeded to ransack the boat, looking for money and threatening more bodily harm to both. Eventually, they left with a computer, a cell phone, and cash, taking the larger dinghy with outboard to shore, where they carefully clipped it to a mooring line.
