[1/3] On the night of April 13th, members of the Wells Police Department and our sUAS Unit assisted with the successful apprehension of two subjects that fled on foot from North Berwick Police Officers.
This past storm not only caused significant power outages, the high surf caused the jetty buoy marker to break lose. The Wells Harbor Master has notified the U.S. Coast Guard and boaters should use caution when entering Wells Harbor.
Below is footage from our sUAS.
