BOURNE SCENIC PARK
The Bourne Scenic Park is a family camping area located along the banks of the Cape Cod Canal in the town of Bourne, MA. Bourne is the first town on Cape Cod and is divided by the Cape Cod Canal, a 7-mile man-made waterway that is used by ships as a "shortcut" to avoid sailing around the entire Cape. We are one of a few Campgrounds on Cape Cod that allow Campfires. With breathtaking views and miles of bike trails it is an excellent place to realize your Cape Cod vacation.
Bourne Scenic Park has become the vacation destination for more and more people visiting Cape Cod. Our New Pools are a welcome addition to your experience or just sit by your campfire on the Canal and watch the sail boats and commercial ships cruise by. The fall months bring with them, arguably, the best weather of the season to the Park. This time of year is extremely popular with people who travel in groups, as well as with owners of some of the larger motor homes that constantly visit Bourne Scenic Park...

| *** WATCH *** HIGH SPEED PURSUIT BEGAN IN BARNSTABLE, ENDED IN PLYMOUTH? PAROLEE W/ OPEN GUN CHARGES IN CUSTODY Wednesday July 02, 2025 |

BARNSTABLE/ PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ? As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, last evening ? Tuesday, 7/1/2025 ? shortly after 11:00 p.m., a Barnstable Police patrolman attempted to stop a speeding vehicle in the area of Route 132 and Route 6. The vehicle failed to stop while entering onto Route 6 westbound at extreme speeds. Barnstable Police ordered the patrolman to terminate the pursuit and state police were notified.
Minutes later, the speeding vehicle, described as a rented white Buick Envision, sped past a state trooper on Route 6 in the area of West Barnstable. Meanwhile, state police figured out that the Buick was wanted by Boston Police, with the driver said to be man on parole with open firearm charges, according to radio transmissions. (The audio in the following HN Video goes into more detail.) The trooper attempted to catch up to the Buick which was said to be traveling over 120 MPH. (As you will hear, speeds eventually reached 130 MPH.) The trooper lost sight of the fleeing vehicle on Route 6 in the area of Sandwich at around 11:26 p.m.
Sandwich Police began looking for the fleeing vehicle in their town.
About 15 minutes (or more) later, state police were notified that a Bourne Police officer had spotted the fleeing vehicle in the area of the Sagamore Bridge.
As you will hear in the following HN Video, a state police cruiser equipped with a Star Chase device eventually moved to the front of the pursuit up Route 3 toward Plymouth. A Star Chase device enables troopers to shoot a dart at the fleeing vehicle. The dart is equipped with a GPS tracker. The trooper was able to successfully deploy a sticky Star Chase dart onto the back of the fleeing vehicle?
Around the same time, a state police cruiser on Route 3 was struck by an uninvolved vehicle as a trooper was outside of the vehicle, attempting to deploy stop sticks. As you will see and hear in the video, there were no serious injuries? but resources needed to be diverted from the pursuit to assist at the crash scene.
Meanwhile ? as you will hear ? the fleeing white Buick suddenly pulled over to the side of Route 3 in Plymouth, with the two occupants jumping out and fleeing into the woods on foot. The two suspects were described as black males, one wearing a white long sleeve shirt, the other wearing an orange hoodie. One of the males was earlier described as having dreadlocks?
HN arrived at the scene of the empty white Buick minutes after the two suspects had fled into the woods toward the Pine Hills Golf Course. The footage shows troopers waiting for a K-9 unit prior to entering the woods, sidearms and rifles at the ready.
Since being released from prison, the suspect that was on parole (believed to have been the driver) was wearing an electronic tracking device called an ?ELMO.? This GPS device allowed troopers to pinpoint where he was running to and hiding on the golf course. Troopers confronted the parolee on the golf course, yelling ?hands up, hands up!? He was then taken into custody and transported to the state police barracks in Bourne.
The second occupant of the fleeing vehicle is still at large.
The following HN Video contains HN dashcam footage, Barnstable Police radio transmissions, state police radio transmissions, and HN on scene camera footage?
