• Two Minors Arrested for String of Burglaries and Car Thefts Across Androscoggin and Cumberland Counties (themainewire.com) — Westbrook residents should know local police helped recover a stolen vehicle tied to a multi-town burglary and car theft spree involving two juveniles. The teens are accused of targeting firearm and cannabis businesses in Turner and Sabattus, then stealing cars in Portland, Westbrook, and Auburn. Both suspects were arrested in Portland, and investigators say more charges could follow. 
• Maine introduces bill to 'effectively ban' HEI contracts (americanbanker.com) — Maine has just imposed strict new rules on home equity investment contracts, with Gov. Janet Mills signing the bill after discussing housing issues during a March 10 visit to Westbrook. The law treats these products like high-cost mortgages, adding counseling, legal review, and detailed disclosures that supporters say protect homeowners but industry groups warn could effectively shut the products out of the state.
