Downtown Bangor Business warns others of theft threat

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) – The owners of a Downtown Bangor business is warning others about possible thefts in the area after they say someone broke in their shop.

Tuesday morning, when an employee of the Bangor Wine and Cheese Company opened the shop, they say something seemed off.

Between closing Monday and opening Tuesday morning, someone broke into the shop and stole cash from the shop, an old safe that wasn’t being used which they hauled out with a red dolly from the shop.

The owners say the suspect was caught on camera also trying to break into the restaurant next door and they fear they may be making their way around downtown businesses.

”Well, it sounds like there have been a couple of incidents. I know that Harvest Moon got broken into, I believe last week. And it sounds, again from listening to the police officers talk about it that these things do tend to happen in spates. Of course, he… we’ve caught the individual on video, and we’ve shared those with the police department. But it does seem, as I said, that he tried to get into every business down here so it’s likely that he didn’t just get lucky with us,” said Eric Mihan, Owner and CEO of Bangor Wine and Cheese Company.

Mihan advises those working and visiting downtown to be vigilant.
