BRUNSWICK – An investigation continued Wednesday into the whereabouts of a 47-year-old woman sought in Maine in connection with a decade-old homicide in California.

Police from at least five agencies converged Tuesday on The Thai Place restaurant in Brunswick in an attempt to arrest Sawan Navarat.

Portland police said Navarat apparently was tipped off that she was about to be arrested and was gone when officers arrived at the restaurant. Portland Detective Russell Gauvin said Navarat was using a couple of different names, and that the search for her continues.

Details of the 1991 killing were not immediately available.

Agencies involved in the operation included the Portland and Brunswick police departments, the FBI, the Violent Crimes Task Force of the U.S. Marshal’s Office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
