A number of jet skis were allegedly stolen and sold to prospective buyers by a certain businessman who’s currently being arraigned in Bantam Superior Court on Wednesday.
Thirty-two year old Brian Dunn of 350 Diamond Bridge Ave in Hawthorne, New Jersey was issued with a $10,000 bond on third and fourth-degree charges of larceny and second degree forgery for the above mentioned allegations.
Dunn is reportedly the owner of CT Powersports, a jet ski business located at New Milford. The authorities started checking out the suspect on January this year after they received a call from New Jersey state police that a certain stolen jet ski was part of a multi-state investigation that’s being done into business dealings by the suspect.
In one of the incidents specified in the warrant, Dunn allegedly refused to pay up on the jet skis that he got from a New Milford man. They agreed on a $3,500 selling price but until now Dunn has yet to settle the bill.

Three competitive young surfers have plans to surf tsunami-like waves. However, this plan will not take place at least for now as lifeguards stopped them from going to the ocean.
According to reports, teenagers Luke Davis, Kolohe Andino and Ian Crane were surfing at San Clemente beach on Saturday despite the tsunami alert issued. They were seen by lifeguards and were halted in their bid to surf the waves.
The three surfers were the only ones seen at the San Clemente Pier when the lifeguards closed the premises at noon. A tidal wave alert was called which could likely hit the ocean from twelve noon to one in the afternoon.
Andino, a 15-year old reigning Surfing America champion and owner of nine national surfing titles, said that he did not know that lifeguards have the power to issue citations to rule breakers.
Lifeguards said that they have repeatedly told the beachgoers at that time to leave the premises due to the tsunami alert.
