The pirates had reportedly snatched fishing gear worth ₹ 1 lakh from them. Chinnathambi, 72, Siva, 33, Tirumal, 30, and Vivek, 34, were attacked when they were fishing 30 nautical miles away from Point Calimere. They were confronted by a group of six suspected sea pirates who had come in two boats. Wielding iron rods, the gang snatched a walkie-talkie, GPS equipment, a battery, inverter, mobile phones and tools box. After the fishermen returned to Arcottuthurai on Thursday morning, boat owner Sivakumar lodged a complaint with the Marine Police in Vedaranyam.  [The Hindu](https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Tiruchirapalli/fishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates/article36273616.ece) ###### Share article [![Share on Facebook](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/fb.png?width=24&name=fb.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/linkedin.png?width=24&name=linkedin.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/twitter.png?width=24&name=twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Fishermen%20robbed%20by%20suspected%20sea%20pirates) [![Share on Pinterest](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/pinterest.png?width=24&name=pinterest.png)](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dpinterest&media=https%3A%2F%2Ff.hubspotusercontent40.net%2Fhubfs%2F4795492%2FDrayad_DMP21%2FImages%2Fpinterest.png) [![Share on Email](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/mail.png?width=24&name=mail.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Ffishermen-robbed-by-suspected-sea-pirates%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) #### Related Posts ### [Hijack - 83nm WSW Port Gentil Reporting indicates that the Gabon flagged fishing vessel LIANPENGYU has been hijacked.](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/83n-wsw-port-gentil-0) ### [How do you stop a pirate?
