Massachusetts State Police Air Wing helps capture suspect wanted in connection with stolen vehicle

“Yesterday, Air Wing 4 was requested by the D Troop Duty Office after the operator of a stolen motor vehicle bailed into woods off of route 195.

Air Wing 4 quickly responded to the location and were able to locate the suspect by using thermal cameras on board. Troopers on board then lead K-9s to his location in a swampy area with thick vegetation.

The Association would like to commend the hard work of all involved and highlight our members SGT. Foley, Trooper LeClair, and Trooper Phelan of the Airwing on another successful mission!

Our Air Wing operates 24/7, 365 days a year. It is an unmatched resource and is available to not just our Troopers, but local law enforcement counterparts as well. We’d like to remind our local law enforcement partners that assistance like this is just a phone call away!” -Massachusetts State Police.
