An Antiguan man is the prime suspect in the theft of a boat belonging to Graham Collins of Nova Scotia, Canada.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Karin Marley Simons was one of two men charged after Quebec RCMP and the Canadian Coast Guard seized 556 kilograms of cocaine from a burning sailboat off the coast of Nova Scotia on Aug. 29.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The next day, Simons escaped police custody at Dartmouth General Hospital, where he had been taken in for an assessment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Collins says he realized his boat was stolen when the personal locator beacon was activated.<\/p>\n

The beacon was about 630 kilometres southeast of Halifax when it was activated and the owner got a call from the U.S. Coast Guard on Friday, asking if he was sailing through the eye of\u00a0hurricane Larry<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to reports, Collins believes\u00a0Karin Marley Simons\u00a0of Antigua is the person who stole his boat and set sail for down south.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Simons has a Royal Yachting Association yachtmaster certificate, which is a \u201chighly respected qualification worldwide, proving your experience and competence as a skipper,\u201d according to its website.<\/p>\n

The Antiguan man is feared dead in the storm. He is still listed as missing by Canadian authorities.<\/p>\n
