LEWISTON – Police made four arrests following a crime spree that caused thousands of dollars in damage to two downtown apartments.

Two teenagers and two adults are facing charges of felony theft and burglary after they allegedly broke into and wreaked havoc in two apartments on the second and fourth floors at 112 Lisbon St.

“We’re waiting on an estimate from the property owners,” said Lt. Jim Minkowsky of Lewiston Police Department, which has compiled a list of damaged and stolen property.

Police said doors were kicked in, walls smashed, fire extinguishers released, eggs thrown around and contents destroyed in the recently rehabbed apartments. A washer and dryer were also destroyed, their coin boxes smashed and money taken. The building, owned by Dr. Miguelito Cabelin, once housed his wife’s restaurant, Lita’s, on the first floor.

Minkowsky said the damage was discovered around noon Saturday by the building manager, who notified police. The apartments’ occupants were away for the weekend.

“We believe (the suspects) gained entrance by breaking in the back of the building,” said Minkowsky.

Arrested on felony theft and burglary charges were transient Scott Poli, 20 and Michael Bell, 21, of Saco. Both were additionally charged with violating bail conditions and aggravated criminal mischief. Two Lewiston juveniles, a 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, were also arrested. They both face felony theft and burglary charges; the boy also faces aggravated criminal mischief charge. Minkowsky said both were on their way to Long Creek correctional facility Saturday night.

Police also issued summons for two other adults, transient David Armvani, 20, and Brunswick resident Ryan Hartford, 20, for criminal trespass. Minkowsky was unsure of the relationship among the four adults and two teenagers.

He did say he expects more charges are likely to follow, once the extent of the damage and theft has been determined. Sgt. David St. Pierre and department detectives were working throughout the day to make the arrests, and collect and process extensive evidence – including alcohol consumption – from the scene.
