Logan Paul & KSI react to arrest of British man who stole Prime Hydration from store
YouTube: Logan PaulYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul couldn’t believe it when Kent police claimed they’d arrested a man suspected of stealing a case of Prime Hydration as fans continue to try and get their hands on the viral influencer drink.
YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul ended their infamous rivalry to release their joint project, Prime Hydration, earlier this year.
The sports beverage is available at most major retailers across the United States and the UK, and currently boasts seven flavors, alongside flavor packets called ‘Hydration Sticks.’
Thus far, the product seems to have been relatively successful, with fans showing up in droves for its launch in the UK over the summer and even selling out new flavors online right at release.

Man reportedly arrested for stealing case of Prime Hydration
On October 10, Kent police tweeted out that they’d arrested a man suspected of stealing a case of Prime, as caught on CCTV.
“He’s our ‘prime’ suspect,” the Kent Police Ashford account joked, before noting that “other drinks are available.”
They attached a photo of several Prime flavors to their post — and KSI seemed gobsmacked by the news.
“Ain’t no way lmao,” the YouTuber said of the incident in a quote retweet, as though equal parts shocked and amused by the news.
Logan Paul also got in on the action, responding to Kent police’s humorous Prime pun with a joke of his own.
“Did he open the case?” he wrote. “Or is the case… closed?”
Even the official Prime Hydration Instagram account had something to say about the incident, sharing a photo of the tweet to their Stories with the caption “#ThePrimeEffect.”

Fans have had a hard time getting their hands on the drink in the UK — but KSI recently assured viewers that production would be increasing to meet demand.
