In the water early in the morning, a man attempted to board another larger vessel and started the main engines, trying to convince the crew to set sail into the sea. However, this was not a stolen ship or motorcycle, but an attempt to steal the entire ship. It is believed that the 'stolen capital' was gathered on board the ship, woke the crew, and informed them that they needed to exit into the water.
This caused sufficient noise for the crew to connect with their current capital and alerted the authorities. The suspect was eventually turned over to the police, where he was wanted for his outstanding warrants. The attempt ended with his escape from the ship's crew, although they did not report the incident until news of the theft of the ship became public.
The police detained the suspect on several charges, including theft, possession of stolen property, and offenses related to narcotics. For new crew members, not knowing the current capital, there were no direct grounds for suspicion.
The thief managed to steal a commercial fishing vessel measuring 80 feet (approximately 24 meters), at that time while the crew was still aboard in Westport, Washington, and took them away, but his scam was revealed at the end of the day. According to the state’s department of fish and wildlife, the stolen capital was seized under their jurisdiction, the fishing vessel 'Jimmy Mary', worth several millions of dollars, and sent to the Gray’s Harbor area, before the crew discovered its theft.
Sgt. Alexander from the Department of Fish and Wildlife of Washington State was on patrol in Westport when he heard radio reports of 'the theft of a transport vehicle', which had occurred. His conversation, as the policy states, revealed him. According to KIRO 7, it was suggested that he was either a past capital or a person sent by the current capital.
But it didn't take long, as the scammer was recognized. Upon inspection by the owners, $4000 in cash was found, a large quantity of packaged marijuana, and individual packets of marijuana.
The police, conducting the investigation, found that this was not his first attempt.
