Kitsap County deputies eventually found the SUV rolled over near Port Gamble. The SUV allegedly flipped onto its roof during the crash, with the suspects running away on foot. According to 成人X站 7, the sheriff’s department learned that the suspects stole a small rowboat in order to escape the police pursuit.

Unfortunately for the thieves, their escape plan didn’t work as the rowboat started sinking. The suspects had to swim back to land, with deputies waiting on the shore, ready to arrest them.
