Clukey said the man was reportedly bald, wearing glasses and a black T-shirt. If you have any information about this incident, please contact the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department at (800) 432-7372.

Bangor police summoned a man and a teenage girl from Nashua, N.H., on Monday evening after they allegedly used stolen credit cards.

Officer Dan Herrick reported that at about 7 p.m. he went to Acadia Recovery, a substance-abuse treatment center on Indiana Avenue, where a disturbance had been reported. On arrival, Herrick said, he learned that the man and woman involved had left.

Herrick searched the area and found the two on Maine Avenue. The man identified himself as Carlos Albarran, 20, of Nashua, N.H. The girl turned out to be a teenager who had been reported missing from Nashua. Officer William Lawrence took the girl to the station to be picked up by her mother.

Officer Rob Angelo went to the Acadia Recovery parking lot and found luggage belonging to Albarran and the girl, Herrick said. Angelo informed Herrick that he should detain Albarran, because the luggage held evidence of a crime.

Herrick said Angelo had found a handful of identification belonging to a Greenwich, R.I., woman. Herrick telephoned the woman, who said she had taken a Greyhound bus from Vermont to Boston, stopping in Nashua. When she arrived in Boston, the woman said, her purse was missing; she found it in the rear of the bus, but her wallet had been taken.

Herrick said Officer Angelo spoke with the girl and Albarran at the station. He determined the girl had taken the wallet from the purse. The girl also used a credit card from the wallet to rent a room at the Holiday Inn on Main Street, as well as charging movie rentals to the room.

The Holiday Inn reported that the charges, which were declined by the credit card company after the pair had left, was $200.

Herrick said Albarran was summoned for misuse of credit identification. The girl will be charged with misuse of credit identification and receiving stolen property.
