SOUTH PORTLAND, ME : Man arrested after robbery, car theft and crash in South Portland on Thursday, 12th March, 2020

A man armed with a knife robbed a convenience store near Cash Corner late Wednesday night and returned to the area late Thursday morning, when he robbed a credit union, stole an idling car from a customer and totaled it in a spectacular crash, then fled on foot through a cemetery before he was captured, police said.

The still unidentified suspect was under guard Thursday night at Maine Medical Center in Portland, where police said he is recovering from injuries suffered when the car he stole struck a utility pole near the Dairy Queen restaurant at Cash Corner.

For now, South Portland police are calling the man a person of interest and said they will identify him once he has been formally charged with a crime.

“We have probable cause to charge him,” Sgt. Adam Howard said.
