BRISTOL — Bristol police continue to investigate the Sept. 4 burglary of the Maplefields convenience store on West Street, as well as a number of thefts in and near Bristol Village reported on Sept. 12 and 13.
The police have received more than one name of potential people connected to the Maplefields burglary, said Chief Bruce Nason in an email to the Independent, and they are following up on some information they received regarding a 1995 Honda Fourtrax 300, which was reported stolen from Plank Road on Sept. 12.

Between Aug. 26 and Sept. 15 Bristol police completed 26 foot patrols and more than 20 hours of car patrols in various parts of town, some of which were part of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. Officers checked security at Mount Abraham Union High School 17 times; conducted 16 business checks; processed at least 24 requests for fingerprints; helped three people who’d locked themselves out of their vehicles; facilitated the return of one lost wallet, two loose dogs and other personal property; and verified two vehicle identification numbers.
