MILTON — Police are looking for more information about a series of stolen outboard boat motors and canoes in the Micah Terrace area Sunday night or early Monday morning.

Several residents reported the theft of five- and 10-horsepower motors and two canoes in the area near the Salmon Falls River and Milton Three Ponds – near the Maine border. Witnesses heard people in the area between 10:30 p.m. Sunday and 3:30 a.m. Monday, according to police.

Witnesses believe the perpetrators came in from the water to steal the motors, police said.

Police Chief Mark McGowan said the same kind of thefts happened in town several years ago, but it appears the trend has resurfaced.
