A HONDA outboard engine has been stolen from a small boat in Peel.

It was taken from East Quay in Mill Street between Tuesday, January 31 and Friday, February 3.

The five horsepower motor is silver/grey in colour and was attached to the boat so police say it would have taken "a little time" to remove the engine. 

Anyone who may saw the theft taking place or anyone who saw anybody in the area of East Quay acting suspiciously is asked to contact PC McKillip at Peel Police Station on 01624 842208.
