Lee Police News
There has recently been burglaries in bordering towns. The vehicle being used is a Gold 2003 Mitsubishi Galant, 4 door, no hub caps, possibly bumper stickers on the rear bumper and New Hampshire plates. There will probably be two males with the vehicle. They usually park it on the side of the road or a driveway with the hood up so it looks like there is a mechanical issue. They will use this excuse if confronted. If you see this vehicle in town please call the police immediately at 659-5866
