Dashcam Shows Slow Speed Police Chase Of Stolen Front Loader

An Anchorage man driving a front loader with an attached fork lift ripped the front entrance off a Brown Jug Liquor store in College Village early Thursday morning. He went on to grab some booze from the store and lead police on a low-speed chase through Airport Heights before being captured in a motorhome park on DeBarr Road. Police have identified the man as 38-year-old Joseph Martin. At around 3:20 a.m. police responded to a report that a man in a fork lift had crashed through the window of the Brown Jug located in a strip mall at E Northern Lights Blvd and Lake Otis Parkway. After making off with some alcohol, the driver headed east on Northern Lights, driving the loader at about 15-miles per hour.
