20-24 perpetrators looted bulk carrier

A gang of 20 to 24 perpetrators in black face masks with guns and long knifes boarded the 'Laax' at the Macapa anchorage area Alfa in position 00 03 04 N, 50 59 35 W, on Aug 30, 2022, at 4 a.m. UTC. Six of the local security guards and duty crew members were beaten and had their hands and feet tied. Paint stores, mooring ropes, and items from the accommodation area were stolen. The boarding lasted approximately 30 minutes. The alarm was raised by the Master, and the Macapa port control was alerted on VHF and asked to send assistance and the police. The perpetrators aborted their attempt to enter other accommodation areas, fled the vessel and escaped with stolen ships properties when they heard the alarm. Unfortunately, there was no response from Macapa port control or the police.
