Caribou Police are asking for the public's help in locating a man wanted for a burglary and theft at the site of the new Caribou Community School.

While working the investigation, Caribou Police learned that the site had been compromised on at least two other occasions with no apparent forced entry.

On Wednesday, Caribou Police executed a search warrant at the residence of 46-year-old Franklin Price on Lakeshore Drive at Madawaska Lake with help from Maine State Police and the Maine Warden Service.

Officers were able to recover a large number of tools and property belonging to various contractors and their employees. Police suspect there are more victims who have not discovered items missing.
