Fort Fairfield Woman Arrested in Multiple Vehicle Burglaries
A Fort Fairfield woman has been charged in connection with a rash of recent vehicle burglaries after police executed a search at a residence in Fort Fairfield Thursday afternoon.
According to the Fort Fairfield Police Department, 33-year-old Amanda Tompkins was charged with 10 counts of burglary from a motor vehicle, violation of conditional release, with other charges pending.
Police said the targeted vehicles were in the Payne Court, Dumond and Boundary Line Road areas, and had been left unlocked. The suspect was also believed to have entered unlocked garages to gain access to vehicles.
