Notes from the Lovell Neighborhood Watch Meeting: June 16, 2010

Thanks to Jan Yindra and Fran Adams for a well presented program on safe finances. We were given examples and tips on banking. The bottom line is to bank locally and let your banker be your friend. They are there to help. Anything in question, call or visit your bank right away. Do not be embarrassed to ask for help.

Lt. Gryzb presented his incident report for the past month. He was proud to say we only had 9 police calls here in Lovell. The Oxford County only had 11 calls for the month. In conclusion, that is good.

We were asked to be alert of people selling meat door to door. Try to get a vehicle description and plate, and report it right away.

Also watch for young people selling goods. For instance, antiques. More than likely they are stolen items... PLEASE REPORT. Again the officers urge you to call. They would rather it be a false alarm than to lose track of stolen items.

Moose and motorcycles are out in force. Keep your eyes WIDE open!

There is no meeting in July, but let's try to keep in touch. This is home to us, and we need to do all we can to keep it a beautiful community. If you are not able to report an incident let me know and I will do it for you. This is such a simple part of life in Lovell please be active.
Our next meeting is August 18th. Enjoy the summer!

Special Alert Mailing

As we discussed at the last meeting, and recorded in the meeting notes,
"We were asked to be alert of people selling meat door to door..."
More warnings have come in:
The Attorney General and police are putting the heat on local meat companies - investigating some for possible fraud -- and investigating at least one employee, for even worse...
Jason Frost has been sentenced to 40 days in prison for letting himself into a Woolwich woman's home, and pressuring her into buying his meat, and then refusing to leave until she gave him cash.
And charges are pending on a similar incident he was allegedly involved in at another woman's home.
And according to police - it's a trend that's happening from Bangor to York - and are warning everyone - to turn away aggressive sales people immediately.

Update July 14, 2010 3:46 PM
From: Sgt. Tim Ontengco
Friday night (7-9) or early Saturday morning (7-10), the Center Lovell Store and the Stow Corner Store were broken into and some money taken. No leads.




July 12, 2010
Everyone in town is needed to solve this crime.
Please call Martha with information 925-1123

For three days in a row, Friday to Sunday, July 9 - 11, a house in town has been broken in to. Perhaps you saw something and didn't realize it at the time. Maybe some facts below may make you think of something, or you or someone you know have had a similar experience. Please call your friends and neighbors in case they do not get this mailing, and read this to them.

The house, owned by Martha, is the only one on Perkins Road, the dirt road beside Molloy's Oil on Route 5.

The weekend before this, the basement window was found open and some sheetrock had been moved.

Friday there were intruders in the basement for over two hours with a horrified little girl home alone, afraid to remove the blanket she put over her head, or step foot off the couch in the upstairs living room. She could hear more than one person going thru all the boxes in the basement. She doesn't remember hearing a car.

Saturday there was no one home and the intruders did the same thing upstairs, going into everything, moving small and big items like the TV set and the wood balancing the AC unit in the window. The outside bedroom wall is all scratched up, and a bedroom window screen was popped out. They used a jewelry box draw for an ashtray. They unhooked the family dog from the yard and put him into the house.

Sunday, yesterday, they left 3 empty Bud Light beer cans in the barn. The middle horse stall window was left wide open. In the basement, an empty blue bucket was found moved to the inside of the basement bulkhead door, and 2 hammers, a hatchet, and a crowbar from the home were found in the bucket.

Please call Martha with any bit of information you may have. If you see an unknown car entering Perkins Road, please call her with the plate number. Vehicles that are known and OK are; maroon Caravan, black Ford pickup, red Avalanche pickup, red Ford pickup, white box truck that says Wallace Allen and Sons on it.

Notes:
1. If the intruders are kids on foot, they may have come from Route 5, behind Molloy's or on the dirt road. Most likely they came in from the woods on either side of the house. There would be two ways in, from the Wicked Good Store taking a right thru the woods, or from the Town Dump taking a left thru the woods. Watch all 3 possible entry points for anyone on foot.
2. Do you know of any kids that have been out the last 3 days? Any who live within walking distance of this location, or old enough to drive and leave a car at one of the possible entry points?
3. Have you seen anyone around smoking cigarettes and drinking Bud Light?
4. The intruders made no attempt at all to hide the fact that they were there all three days. They opened and broke boxes, leaving things all tossed and overturned. They may believe the house is owned by a seasonal resident and think they have time to get the items they want out of the house without having to carry everything on foot.
5. We need to find these intruders, not just scare them off to another house. There are many single elderly folks in our town and we all know from experience that once this starts, it escalates. The fact that they are creating an easy to carry bucket of tools to break into other homes should scare every resident in the area.

Please call Martha with information 925-1123
