Board thefts from surf shop
Six second-hand surf boards with a retail value totalling about $3500 have been stolen in two months from Yahoo Surfboards in Yallingup.
Yahoo Surfboards retail manager Mark Hills said the breach of trust meant board displays would now be chained up and better CCTV security systems implemented. “It’s one of those ones where you’re going to get caught,” he said.
“I’m sure we can work out an amicable situation if the boards are returned.”
The second-hand boards had been bought from surfers because the shop wanted to keep old boards in the community.
Mr Hills said a blond-haired man had been seen taking boards from the store to a white Toyota 4Runner that was being driven by a man with short, dark hair.
A report has been made to Dunsborough police and the investigation is ongoing.
The stolen boards include a:5’11” Rusty, clear with carbon tail patch.
6’1” Denzel by ZShapes with a maroon/brown 6” stripe down the centre.
5’11” Chilli Rare Bird, clear epoxy with a deck grip.6’1” DA custom with “Kane” written on the bottom and a Claire Bevilacqua deck grip.
6’1” JS Monsta Box, clear.
6’0” Yallingup Surf Co with a full deck spray.
Anyone with information about the surfboards is urged to contact Dunsborough Police Station on 9781 3030.
