OSWEGO, NY – On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at approximately 9:33 a.m., Officers from the Oswego City Police Department were dispatched to 3 Basin St., the Oswego Marina, for a stolen boat complaint.
Officers were advised by E911 that an unknown male took a boat without the permission of the owner and was operating it on the Oswego River.
Upon arrival, officers interviewed a male employee of the Oswego Marina who stated that he observed a sailboat in the river that was being operated by a male who was not the owner of the boat.
With the assistance of the Oswego Fire Department and the United States Coast Guard, officers contacted the operator of the boat in the Oswego River.
