Police tell the Kennebec Journal his girlfriend served as his getaway driver.
The communities where the alleged offenses occurred include Augusta, Belgrade, Benton, Chelsea, China, Clinton, Gardiner, Hallowell, Manchester, Pittston, Readfield, Vassalboro, Waterville, Windsor and Winthrop.
“Maine – Open for Business”… sounds like he was running a profitable small business… A check should be made to see if he was paying all taxes, as required!
Of course he was, … every time he bought gas, beer, and cigarettes. The rest probably was “sheltered ” for his retirement.
You kidding? Escort em to DHHS so they can get put on the Maine Gravy Train Express!

….
they’re all so young too. sad.
Sad that a homeowner didn’t catch them in the act and fill their faces with buckshot. A few closed-casket funerals might be just the trick to dissuade other such dangerous drug-addicted losers from terrorizing people’s property.
