“Detectives with the Jasper Police Department are seeking the public’s
assistance. Sometime over the past week or so, someone broke into the
Walker County Rescue Squad building located on “E” Street in Jasper. A
total of four boats were stolen, including the one in the photo. The
other three boats are flat-bottom boats, one of which has a Johnson 25HP
outboard motor. Police believe the Walker County Marine Search and
Rescue markings may have been covered to
disguise the ownership of the boats. Assorted other tools used by the
Rescue Squad were also stolen, including generators, chainsaws, and
other various tools.
The Walker County Rescue Squad is a volunteer
organization. It operates off of donations and does not charge for any
of the services they provide. This theft will very heavily impact their
ability to aid the public when needed.
If you have any information
related to this case, please contact the Jasper Police Department at
(205) 221-2121 or CrimeStoppers at (205) 254-7777.”
