Between July 4 and 22, someone cut the fence to an adjoining business and took several boat motors from his property, located at 10131 Mallory Parkway. Murray Shatt told deputies he rents the property and has nothing to do with the boats. He contacted the owner of the property, John McChan, who said he didn’t know who owned the boats.

Deputies tried to locate the victims, but was unsuccessful. McChan said his wife might have the information. Two motors were stolen.
