Man in Boat near Shore w/ Spotlight on Saturday Afternoon

I have family visiting. Today, we discussed recent thefts by boat.

They reported that on Saturday afternoon, they were walking on St. Margaret’s Lane, near the property where the house is being built.

They noticed a man in a boat with its sport light on (mounted on the bow) coming toward the shore of that property. When he saw my nephew in a bright jacket, he turned and motored away.

Boat is white with large motor mounted in rear. He appeared thickset, wearing a dark cap and jacket and khaki pants.
