LINCOLN, Maine — Police issued a summons to a Chester man Tuesday in connection with the theft of items worth an estimated $1,766 from a Lincoln construction company last week, officials said.
Tyrone Voisine, 28, was summoned on a charge of Class C felony theft, police said.
Voisine is suspected of stealing an ice auger, grease gun, metabo drill, chainsaw, laser surveying tripod and two motorcycle helmets from EH Downs Inc., a general contractor at 618 Main St., sometime in the last week, police said.
Detective Mark Fucile, the Lincoln Police Department’s spokesman, said a vice president at EH Downs reported to police Tuesday that several items had been stolen. The vice president said that he had been on vacation last week and returned to work Tuesday.
The vice president went looking for the chainsaw and, not finding it, went to Lincoln Trading & Pawn, where he found the chainsaw and several other items allegedly pawned by Voisine. The pawn shop, which cooperated with the investigation, bought the items for $285, Fucile said.
“They have been working with us and the victim very well,” Fucile said of the pawn shop operators.
Voisine is due at Penobscot Judicial Center on June 16, Fucile said.
Several other items are missing from EH Downs. Anyone with information about those items is asked to call police at 794-2221. All calls will be kept confidential, Fucile said.
