WATERVILLE — A high-speed chase ended in a crash Monday around 7:45 a.m. on Kennedy Memorial Drive after crossing multiple counties.

The chase began in Waldo County, when a deputy stopped a black Toyota RAV4 and its occupants threw motor oil at the deputy and fled west toward Montville and Kennebec County at more than 100 mph.

The vehicle stop revealed the Toyota had been involved in a series of “smash and grabs” in Hancock County. Chief Deputy J. Chris Read of the Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that suspects had worn masks and used a sledgehammer to smash windows of dispensaries and smoke shops and steal products; he didn’t identify what products those were.

The Auburn Police Department confirmed the vehicle, which had five occupants, had been stolen in Auburn.

The Kennebec County Sheriff’s office received a call to assist in the chase shortly before 7:10 a.m. It had last been seen turning onto Lakeview Drive in China, where it drove around a spike mat. Deputies caught up with the vehicle as it was entering Winslow driving more than 110 mph. As the vehicle reached a more congested area, deputies backed off the chase.

Waterville police got a call about the chase around 7:25 a.m., according to Waterville police Maj. Jason Longley. When the RAV4 drove into Waterville, it crashed into another vehicle near Chase Road and later went off the road on Kennedy Memorial Drive.

The five suspects, four of whom are minors, started running away. Police took them into custody after a short pursuit of one suspect. No one was injured in the crash, but one deputy sustained an arm injury during the pursuit, which Read said will put him out of work for a while.

The one adult suspect involved in the chase will be picked up by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, according to Read. The suspect’s mother confirmed his identity as 18-year-old Larando Sweeting after Read said he initially lied about who he was.

“There is a long list of charges ahead of these youngsters and one adult that made bad choices in Hancock, Waldo and finally, Kennebec County,” Read said.

Waterville dispatchers notified schools about the chase, and the Mid-Maine Technical Center was placed on lockdown. Regional School Unit 18 officials sent a notice to community members, which incorrectly identified the location of the robbery. The notice said the district was coordinating with the Oakland Police Department, which was not involved in the chase.

Oakland police Chief Rick Stubbert said he didn’t have any information about the chase.

Waterville Public Schools, the Mid-Maine Technical Center and RSU 18 did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.
