After a rash of car burglaries in Gorham last December and January, USM Police found a suspect. They are working with the Gorham Police in an investigation that is still ongoing. The last few weeks have seen a fresh outbreak of car-related crime – this time simple vandalism, with no theft involved. USM Police Detective Ronald Saindon said the police are focusing on the parking lots more now, and that the frequency of vandalism has decreased. Still, Saindon said, students should avoid keeping valuables in their cars and should make sure to lock their doors.
