INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — No one was aboard a large sailboat that ran aground earlier this week just south of South Beach Park, police said. Florida Fish and Wildlife officers and police have notified the owner about the vessel washing ashore, said Officer Kelsea Callahan, a spokesperson for the Vero Beach Police Department.
Vero Beach police officers responded to reports of the incident shortly after 7:23 a.m. Tuesday. A caller told dispatchers she could see the boat from her condo unit in the 1600 block of Ocean Drive, reports show.
An incident report showed the boat appeared to be drifting south. Police tagged the boat for removal.
It was unclear Thursday if the vessel was towed away from the area.
