LIVERMORE FALLS – Police are investigating several motor vehicle burglaries, thefts and vandalism. The latter includes windows being broken out of a school bus and at businesses.

In one instance, someone had thrown a rock bigger than a fist through a window of Spruce Mountain Health Center, Livermore Falls police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.

“It was thrown with such force,” Steward said, “it was embedded in the wall.”

Police were called to SAD 36 Cedar Street Complex Sunday to look into vandalism to a portable classroom that has been sold and is expected to be moved from the school property soon. Someone had sliced a couple of screens with a knife, Steward said, but didn’t gain entry. Police believe it was part of vandalism that occurred Aug. 3, he said. A side window and windshield of a school bus had been broken, he said, with a bat or pipe. In the same time frame of Aug. 3 and 4, it was reported that Bowen Bros. had a plate-glass window broken.

A Hidden Avenue resident reported Sunday that someone entered their vehicle and stole a wallet, an undisclosed amount of cash and prescription medicine, Steward said. The door of the vehicle was unlocked. A vehicle on Cross Street was reported to be forcibly entered late Saturday evening, the chief said. It was unknown Monday what was taken, he said.

A resident of Cargill Street also reported last Tuesday that a flag and flagpole, which had a pulley to raise the flag, was taken from his place.
