FARMINGTON — Police have charged a local man with stealing several boats and trying to sell them on a radio station swap meet.
State and Farmington police say Daniel Dustin, 22, faces five theft charges. Dustin was given five summonses on the charges on July 20.
He is believed to have been involved with stealing a total of nine kayaks, canoes and a paddle boat from several locations in Kennebec and Franklin counties, Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said.
Dustin would call Farmington radio station WKTJ and attempt to sell them on their Phone Mart program where listeners call in and try to sell various items, Trooper Matt Casavant said.
State police still have a canoe and kayak waiting for owners to identify and are looking for the buyer of a Dimension Typhoon kayak stolen from Fayette, McCausland said.
The other watercraft sold on the radio program have been recovered.
