CHESTERVILLE — Two men face burglary and theft charges after being arrested over the weekend by police investigating a break-in last month in Chesterville.

Two firearms and tools were stolen from a trailer and shed used at 173 Adams Road on Sept. 25, with the items worth about $800, Franklin County Sheriff’s Lt. Niles Yeaton said.

After getting tips from residents, deputies arrested James P. Moore, 34, of Wilton, and Scott W. Kidder Sr., 31, of Farmington, and charged each with burglary and theft of firearms, Yeaton said.

They were being held Tuesday morning in Franklin County Detention Center in Farmington, jail officials said, unable to provide the bail conditions. All the stolen items have been recovered and returned to the owner, who lives in a nearby residence on Adams Road, Yeaton said.

Franklin County sheriff’s deputies received a tip Friday that Travis Pratt had been growing marijuana outside on his property, Lt. Niles Yeaton said.

Armed with a warrant, deputies raided his 832 Phillips Road residence later that day and found about 25 harvested plants drying inside, along with drug paraphernalia, Yeaton said.

Deputies seized the drug paraphernalia and marijuana, which was sent to the crime lab in Augusta to be weighed after early estimates put the amount at between 15 to 18 pounds, Yeaton said. He estimated the marijuana was worth $25,000 if sold illegally on the street.

Pratt was summonsed on a charge of unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs, with his court date set for Jan. 20 in Farmington.
