It has been reported that an attempted robbery occurred involving a hydrographic military vessel whilst anchored at Pointe Noire Anchorage, Congo. A small pirogue vessel with two persons onboard approached the hydrographic vessel to within 100 metres, shining torches towards the vessel. The protection team onboard the vessel were alerted by the torchlights. When the persons on the pirogue saw they had been sighted they turned off the torches and left the area. |
