Orono police are “confident” that charges will be filed in the near future after someone broke into the Penobscot Valley Country Club after stealing a truck on Route 2 Saturday night.

Police believe that an alarm scared away the intruder after a window to the pro shop was broken, Orono police Sgt. Robert Bryant said. The intruder apparently did not take anything after entering the building, though the case is still under investigation.

Trooper Rod Charette and K-9 unit Cabot of the Maine State Police attempted to track the intruder, Bryant said. Officials later found evidence that the intruder went to a home in Orono but are not saying anything other than no arrests have been made.

On Saturday night, someone entered an unlocked home on Route 2 in Orono while no one was home and took the keys to a black 1997 Dodge pickup, Bryant said. The truck was left at the country club without damage. Officials have gathered evidence that includes footprints.

Damage to greens on the golf course, totaling in the thousands of dollars, caused by four-wheelers earlier in the day, was unrelated, Bryant said.

A woman from LaGrange and a teen from Alton learned it doesn’t pay to lie to police.

Lisa Baker, 25, of LaGrange was stopped by Trooper Seth Edwards on Pleasant Street in Milford just before 5 p.m. Saturday for having a license plate light out and told police she was Wanda Baker, Edwards said. After letting Baker, posing as her sister-in-law, go with a warning for the light, Edwards discovered that he had been lied to and waited for the car to return to the area.

When he spotted the 1993 Pontiac Grand Am again, a 17-year-old from Alton was driving. The teen also gave the wrong name, that of her sister, Edwards said. A check of identities showed that both the teen and Baker had suspended licenses.

Each was charged with driving with a suspended license and failure to give a correct name and date of birth, Edwards said. They were taken to Penobscot County Jail in Bangor and later released on personal recognizance bail. They are scheduled to appear in 3rd District Court in Bangor on Jan. 27.

A bolo tie valued at $700 was reported stolen from Penobscot Indian Art, 27 North Main St., in Old Town on Monday.

Owners of the store noticed their sole bolo tie missing. A bolo is a cord that is fastened around the neck with an ornamental clasp and worn as a necktie.

The owners believed the bolo clasp, 3-inches square and made of turquoise with an eagle design and silver trim, was stolen some time during the past weekend when the store was open, Old Town police Officer Chris Hashey said.

A Brewer woman went for a walk in Bangor and returned to find her car burglarized Sunday afternoon.

The 21-year-old woman had parked her car at Prentiss Woods on Grandview Avenue at noon Sunday, Bangor police Officer Michael Kenny said. The woman returned from her walk shortly before 1 p.m. and found that someone had smashed a passenger-side window and taken her purse with $60 cash. The total value of the stolen items was estimated at $105, with damage to the car about $300.
