..."Dispatchers on Thursday had originally been notified at 9:21 a.m. PST about an act of vandalism along the docks near 1200 W. Coast Highway before another call came, reporting a stolen boat a half-mile away, Newport Beach police spokeswoman Heather Rangel said.
"It was determined that the suspect was the same person for each incident," Rangel said. "The suspect stole the boat and proceeded to leave the area when he collided with multiple boats in the bay."
The suspect, from San Diego, was captured by the Orange County Sheriff's Harbor Patrol, police said.
Siam struck at least three vessels and investigators didn't have an immediate price tag on the damage, sheriff's spokeswoman Carrie Braun said Friday.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the suspect’s motive might have been.
“We do not believe the suspect knew the boat owner,” of the craft he allegedly stole, Braun added."...
