JAY — A Livermore Falls man remained in the Franklin County jail Tuesday morning after several people identified him as the person videotaped breaking into Spruce Mountain Pharmacy on Sunday morning.
Lucas Caron
Lucas Caron, 19, was arrested on a felony charge of burglary and misdemeanor charges of stealing drugs and criminal mischief Monday night after the Jay Police Department posted the video on its Facebook page, Chief Larry White Sr. said.
Soon after the video was posted, someone called police and identified Caron. White released the video to several news organizations. It shows a young man breaking into and crawling through the drive-up window at the pharmacy. Once the video was aired, police received numerous calls, all identifying the suspect as Caron, White said.
Police found Caron at his parents' home on Park Street. He was cooperative and knew the video had been on the news, White said.
More than $300 worth of Clonazepam, an anti-convulsion, anti-anxiety drug sold under the brand name Klonopin, was taken from the pharmacy. Caron gave all of the drugs to police, White said.
Caron worked alone in the burglary, White said.
Caron's bail has been set at $250 cash; he is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 24, White said.

Wow his parents should be ashamed of him and his actions and leave him in the Franklin County Jail where he belongs... How absurd $250 to get out !!! that is nuts but then again the criminals get away with everything. He will get a slap on the wrist and time served. What a punk ! If he was my kid i wuld kick his asssssssah to kingdom come and back.

I went to Spruce Mountain just this morning to switch my prescription to their pharmacy. Local small business AND willing to go the extra mile with their security system makes me think they'll go the extra mile for their customers too. The owner was very appreciative of law enforcement's help with the break in.

I would like to thank Spruce Mt. Phar., Jay PD, and Caron. With Caron all but smiling for the security camera and Jay PD showing it on facebook this burglary is a lock for World's Dumbest: Criminals. That will make Jay famous.

If all business had the awesome camera system that Spruce has, and the pictures are released as they were here, maybe more of the dummies would be caught...or..maybe it wouldn't happen at all because they know they will be filmed...Good Job Spruce Mt. Phar. for your security system!

Spend a little more money on the security system instead of the crappy ones most businesses selltle for ...it certainly would be worth it in the long run...
