Mayhem hit a Bourne liquor store when a suspect, already on the hook for felony larceny of an e-bike, turned to violence with a blade in hand. Bourne police were called to Spirits N More on Clay Pond Rd. after a reported knife assault late Monday night.
Notwithstanding the dangerous weapon involved, no injuries were reported. With the suspect already accused of an e-bike theft earlier that evening, the officers hit the ground running, leading to an efficient collar. The police, piecing together the night's puzzles, identified the same guy for both crimes.
In a display of swift detective work, arrest and search warrants were promptly filed and given the green light today. Bourne's finest waited until the suspect left his residence, moving in coolly and cuffing the guy without so much as a scuffle, according to a statement obtained by the Bourne Police Department's Facebook page.
Sleuths got more than they bargained for after a search warrant executed at the perp's place turned up the hot e-bike and more slam-dunk evidence. The Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council SWAT Team lent their muscle to the operation, ensuring a safe wrap-up to what could have spiraled into a riskier situation. The Spirits N More tussle, together with the high-tech bicycle heist, appears tidily resolved — all within a tight 48-hour window.
