A series of boat break-ins has plagued the Rorschach harbor over the weekend, with eight motor and sailboats being targeted.

The incidents, which have been increasing in frequency, involve intruders breaking into boats, stealing valuables, and sometimes even sleeping on board.

Sepp Müller, president of the St.

Gallen Yacht Club, reported that these break-ins have left a significant mess, although the material damage is minimal.

A video circulating on TikTok shows a boat owner confronting an intruder, who then flees the scene.

The St.

Gallen police have arrested three individuals, but it remains unclear if they are responsible for all the break-ins.

The harbor's open access makes it challenging to prevent such incidents, leaving boat owners frustrated and concerned about their privacy.
