Portsmouth Police Recover Two Stolen Cars And Press Charges

PORTSMOUTH, RI—Police have arrested two teens in connection with two stolen cars in Portsmouth.Both cars were stolen earlier this month. Back on July 1, an Emmanuel Drive resident reported the first car theft. That car was recovered days later at Fort Butts in some woods. Evidence indicated it had been taken to New York and also led police to consider two suspects.

Then on July 9, another car was stolen from an Islington Avenue driveway. Police believes the two cases were connected to the same two suspects.

On July 13, Brandon Fultz, 19, turned himself into the Bristol Police Department on unrelated charges. (There is no record of those charges in the state Judicial Portal, however.) The next day, Portsmouth detectives charged him with felony Driving without the owner's consent. Also July 14, Bristol Police recovered the second stolen car and charged Mason Jones, who was spotted driving it at 9 a.m. Jones, 19, was also charged with felony Driving without the owner's consent.
