Caribou Police have arrested three men following a reported burglary at a local business earlier this week.

The business owner called the Caribou Police Department on Monday to report a break-in at their property, according to Chief Michael Gahagan. Several items related to construction were allegedly stolen.

Police were able to learn the identities of two suspects after releasing photos from the surveillance video to the public. The investigation led to the arrests of 23-year-old Trevor Ellis and 24-year-old Joshua Ellis, both of Caribou, for felony Burglary and Theft.
