LIVERMORE FALLS – Police arrested a Jay boy early Wednesday after he allegedly broke into a Puffin Stop convenience store on Main Street, police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said.

Sea Coast Security alerted police that a burglary alarm had been set off at 12:25 a.m., he said.

The boy, whose age was not listed in the police report as of Wednesday morning, was charged with burglary, theft by unauthorized taking, and trespassing, the chief said.

He was released to his parents and is scheduled to appear in juvenile court on June 23 in Lewiston.
