KENOSHA (WKOW) -- Police say they have arrested nine people suspected of coming to Kenosha in vehicles with out of state plates and filling gas cans that authorities believed were to be used at that evening's protests.
Wednesday evening, Kenosha police say they got a tip that several suspicious vehicles with out-of-state plates were meeting in a remote lot near Wisconsin Highway 50 and Green Bay Road near Kenosha.
Acting on the tip, Kenosha police and U.S. Marshals found the vehicles, including a black school bus, bread truck and tan minivan.
Kenosha Police confirmed the out of state license plates.
Police followed the vehicles to a gas station near Washington Road and 30th Avenue and saw the occupants of the black bus and bread truck get out and begin filling multiple fuel cans.
Suspecting that the people of the vehicles were preparing for criminal activity related to the civil unrest, officers attempted to make contact and investigate.
The officers got out of their vehicles, identified themselves, were wearing appropriate identification, and then detained the occupants of the bus and
bread truck.
The people in the minivan attempted to drive away, however, Kenosha Police stopped it and ultimately forced their way into the minivan and arrested the people inside.
The vehicles contained various items that included helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks, and suspected controlled substances, according to Kenosha police.
The nine individuals were arrested for disorderly conduct and are pending charging decisions by the Kenosha County District Attorney.

Nice Police work!
And the folks who called them!
Good for both!
So that tells us all that there are a lot of outside agitators coming into the protests. Coming from OUT OF STATE. Coming to incite. Just like that killer Kyle what's his name.
Thanks!
Who cares if they are coming from outside the state or not? Many of those "peaceful" protesters are from outside the city, or even state, they are protesting in.
Also, a lot of those agitators are from inside the state/city were the protests are held.
If these are "peaceful" protesters like the left likes to claim- no amount of agitation will cause them to riot, loot, or commit arson.
Antifa is known to travel from one city to another to boost their numbers in a hit spot.
What a convenient boogieman for you all. Anti-fa has absolutely nothing to do with these outside agitators and killers like Kyle whatshisname.
We'll see. The police haven't released any info on them as of yet so we don't know who they are or their political motives. So besides the gas cans they found helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks, and suspected controlled substances in the van but no AR-15's so it sounds more like an Antifa arsenal but we can't be sure at this time.
Kenosha is almost smack dab between Milwaukee and Chicago but not that far away from either. antifa central in both cases.
Out of state takes less than 20 miles for Illinois. Not far at all .....
But an Illinois plate wouldn't raise any suspicions so it's likely they are from somewhere else. I live two minutes from the MASS state line and buy all my gas out of state cause it's 10 cents cheaper and I work in mass. Nobody around here would notice a mass plate since every fifth car is from mass. I once lived in a house where I got to choose which state I resided in because the state line ran through my living room and kitchen, I stuck with the state I was already licensed in to avoid having to change.
Prove it..................
You need to disprove it. . .
I tend to agree but we will see.
The main thing is the douche-bags got caught before they could "inject" themselves on Kenosha.
Jim, don't waste your time .....
Not how it works dear. You made the claim. You back it up.
Nope.
i read last night during my relaxation period before bed , that those stopped , were stated by authorities to be from washington state , specifically seattle, i will see if i can find the article again. right now im trying to figure out why and which one of my pullets are laying eggs without hard outside shells....
Well ..... imagine that.
You know that’s how it works here so put up or shut up.
And these agitators are heroes to the far left haters of Trump and law enforcement
"Why isnt Trump announcing an investigation into the Kenosha police dept to find out why this was allowed to happen?"
Because he's encouraging this to happen at every single 'rally' he holds including the shitshow of the RNC 'convention', just another tRumpturd rally held in the now White trash House.
We all know this killer Kyle was front and center at a 'rally' tRumpturd held in January.
yeah and that alleged picture you supplied yesterday with his mom in the corner and also the large grainy one is indeed his mom. Looked all over the web, even Facebook, to see that picture. Show us the source of that on.
Prove it. Every word he says you say he's inciting this or that to fit your narrative. How some idiots interpret what he says is not his problem It's the interpreter's problem. Like those on the extreme left and their interpretation of what Trump says without critical thinking and knowing how the man reacts. Been shown time and time and time and time again right here on NT (soon to be dubbed Never Trump if we continue down this path) how TDS sufferers just search and search and search with their morning coffee to find the tiniest of reasons to post an article...............and their interpretation.
They are not real good at hiding it.

The man who took the picture is claiming it is not his mom and he wishes people would stop spreading misinformation.
More and more we're seeing outside agitators coming into protests and inciting and killing and for all we know setting the fires and looting. Here's just a smidgen of proof regarding that:
Over the last three months in Portland, mass protests against police violence and racism gradually gave way to nightly often violent standoffs between a core of pro-Black Lives Matter and anti-fascist protesters and law enforcement.
But in the past week the city has fallen back into a pattern of more politically polarized street violence which has marked the city throughout the Trump era, with broadly leftwing and anti-fascist activists sometimes facing off against far-right groups.
Last weekend a rightwing “Say no to Marxism in America” rally saw serious, widespread violence. Much of it came from rally attendees – who included members of far-right groups like the Proud Boys – and was directed not only at leftist counter-protesters, but also reporters.
One rightwing protester drew a firearm on opposing protesters. Earlier, he had fired a paintball gun into the crowd, and a local journalist was caught in the crossfire. Others appeared to be armed with firearms and knives. Some carried wooden shields with nails driven through them.
One pro-Trump protester took to a snack van with a baseball bat. Others joined in and destroyed the vehicle .
Near the peak of Saturday’s violence, a reporter’s hand was broken by a rightwing protester with a baton, and video of the incident went viral on social media. That reporter, Robert Evans, has been covering the protests since they began, for Bellingcat and other outlets.
That assailant was identified by Bellingcat on Tuesday as Travis Taylor, a Portland-based Proud Boy who has been previously observed attending violent street demonstrations in the city.
In a telephone conversation, Evans told the Guardian that the rightwing demonstrators “absolutely came prepared to fight”, were “very aggressive from the jump” and were equipped with “knives, guns, paintball guns with frozen pellets, batons”.
Let me get this straight. the 9 people arrested as outside agitators were coming into the city to help with food distribution? I'm not sure why they were arrested, food distribution is not a crime. and why were the folks pulled forcibly from the minivan?
Food distribution...LMAO. And let me guess you have never seen the alt left shooting illegal fireworks at LEO's and throwing Molotov cocktails?
Lol .... I’m sure the we’re just handing out information pamphlets ...... on urban terrorism ....
