CASCO — Bicycle tire tracks led Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies, investigating a series of car burglaries in Casco, to a 16-year old from Raymond who was visiting town.

Deputies traced the tracks to where the boy was staying and the boy admitted taking items from about two dozen vehicles, police said. They recovered cell phones, compact discs, dvds, cash, global positioning systems and sunglasses, police said.

They charged the boy with burglary and theft and released him to his parents. Cars were broken into on Libby Road, Luke Road, Thomas Pond Shores Road and Cedar Street.

Deputies were able to return several of the items but not all, and are asking anyone who experienced a theft in the area to report it.
