“Let this serve as notice to anyone who considers committing crimes like these in our town. Don’t risk it. Not in Kingston. We’ll chase you until your wheels fall off — literally,” the PD wrote in a Fb submit.
All of it occurred when a girl known as police a little bit after 3 a.m. to report that a number of folks have been “actively” stealing her jet ski and haul trailer. Responding police noticed the suspect’s darkish pickup trick — which was reported stolen itself from Rhode Island — fleeing the world with the jet ski on a trailer and a pursuit ensued.
