After a Virginia woman reported men in pick-ups and camouflage with kayaks headed north, the Coast Guard commander is prepared, but has no intel on specific threats.
'WASHINGTON Thousands of people have contacted law enforcement with tips since the insurrection at the Capitol, including a Virginia woman who suspected she might have spotted rioters planning to invade Washington by boat. The Coast Guard says it's ready for that possibility, but has no intel suggesting it will really happen.
The woman, a process server who is not easily scared, said she spotted pick-up trucks loaded with what she called "heavy-duty" kayaks, and guys in fatigues with bald heads and scraggly beards headed north on Sunday. She notified DC police, the F.B.I and police in Culpeper. She said they took reports, but she's unsure if they followed up.
"How many people are out here kayaking in January, coming from out of state, from the South where it's warm to the North where it's colder? It just alarmed me," she said.
The Coast Guard insists it's ready for anything -- from an invasion by paddling insurrectionists, to a chemical, biological, or radiological attack.'>>>
