ROCKLAND, Maine — Several arrests have been made after a retail shop on Main Street in Rockland was burglarized this past weekend, police say.
Rockland police said on Facebook that several thousand dollars in merchandise was stolen from the store.
An investigation into the incident identified several suspects, and on Wednesday police recovered most of the stolen property at a Rockland apartment, according to the social media post.
"Two juveniles were taken into custody, one on the charge of felony burglary and the other for possession of stolen property," the post stated. "One of the juveniles was also already on a set of juvenile probation conditions."
While officers were at the apartment, an adult reportedly fled from the second story using a "makeshift bedsheet/blanket rope," police said.
"The individual was identified and later questioned by law enforcement, that resulted in a second adult in the home being arrested on the charge of violation of conditions of release and booked into the Knox County Jail," the post said.
Police said the juvenile community corrections officer and local juvenile prosecutor were contacted, and the two juveniles who were arrested were summonsed and released to guardians due to laws and corrections policies not allowing for incarceration.
Police added that a third juvenile is facing trespassing charges.
The incident remains under investigation, and more charges are possible, police said.
