Authorities say Dustin, with bolt cutters in his vehicle, drove around looking for opportunities to steal canoes, kayaks and in one case, a paddle boat. Detective Mark Bowering tells the Morning Sentinel, that Dustin could face charges in Franklin, Kennebec and Androscoggin counties for the thefts of at least nine small vessels.
