A man who police said stole from vehicles that were parked outside a Berks County, Pennsylvania, casino led officers on a chase before being arrested.<\/p>\n
According to the Caernarvon Township Police Department, Corporal William Smith and Officer William Kase were called to Hollywood Casino at 6021 Morgantown Road in Caernarvon Township around 1:18 a.m. on Aug. 15, 2026, after receiving a report of a person entering vehicles.<\/p>\n
Police said casino staff reported that two employees’ vehicles had been gone through and personal belongings were stolen, including two wallets, $100, a gym bag and a basketball.<\/p>\n
When Kase and Smith arrived at the scene, police said they saw the suspect, identified as Terrance Watson, 33, get into a silver sedan before fleeing the area.<\/p>\n
Police said the pursuit ended when the sedan crashed into two properties on Main Street. Watson then fled on foot but was eventually arrested.<\/p>\n
During the investigation, police learned that the vehicle Watson was driving had been reported stolen in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Watson was taken into custody and charged with receiving stolen property, theft, fleeing police, resisting and other related charges, according to police. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who police said stole from vehicles that were parked outside a Berks County, Pennsylvania, casino led…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,28,128,130,129],"class_list":["post-267381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
