An armed man in his twenties stole a 28-foot sailboat at Pier 5 Marina located near Penns Landing in Philadelphia just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, police said.
A boat club at the marina was doing training exercises when the man jumped into the docked sailboat and drove away, according to police.
He rode the boat for about 2 miles on the Delaware River before being stopped south of the Ben Franklin Bridge by Philadelphia police.
“This is very rare for someone to steal a sailboat,” Philadelphia Police chief inspector Scott Small said. “Definitely unusual.”
When police went to arrest the man, they found a stolen semi-automatic gun in his possession.
The suspect is expected to be charged with illegally possessing a gun and for stealing a boat.
