FARMINGTON — Police say a Farmington man faces charges for allegedly stealing small boats and selling them on a radio station flea market program, reports the Morning Sentinel.
Police say 22-year-old Daniel Dustin was busted after a man recognized his stolen canoe in the possession of someone who bought it on the radio show and called police.
Authorities say Dustin, with bolt cutters in his vehicle, drove around looking for opportunities to steal canoes, kayaks and in one case, a paddle boat. Detective Mark Bowering tells the Morning Sentinel that Dustin could face charges in Franklin, Kennebec and Androscoggin counties for the thefts of at least nine small vessels.
Police say after stealing a boat, Dustin called a Farmington radio station and attempted to sell it during Phone-Mart, a 10-minute on-air flea market broadcast three times daily.
