From the Houma Police Depatment:
After extensive investigation, as well as community awareness, the Houma Police Department would like to announce the recovery of the stolen 19’ Crestliner center console boat and jet skis that were stolen earlier during the week.
On 8-16-21, once the information of the incident was disseminated to media outlets, representatives with the Houma Police Department and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office received calls of an abandoned vessel matching the description of the Crestliner floating in a slip off of the Intracoastal Waterway. Once receiving the report, the vessel was recovered and identified it as the 19’ Crestliner that was initially stolen.
On 8-17-21 during the afternoon hours, Houma Police received information of 2 jet skis abandoned in the Intracoastal Waterway near the Morgan City area. Upon arrival, the jet skis were identified as the jet skis taken in the reported theft in the Mulberry subdivision. Taking this into consideration, they were recovered.
The Houma Police Department would like to thank our community along with our law enforcement partners, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, St. Mary S.O., St. Martin S.O., Assumption S.O., Morgan City P.D., LA Wildlife and Fisheries and the Louisiana State Police, for their assistance in this investigation.
This investigation is ongoing and further information will be released as it develops.
