Put a lid on it

On further review
On Dec. 4, employees at the Irving gas station on Route 1 reported a suspicious customer trying to use what they believed to be a lost or stolen credit card before coming into the store. Additional investigation showed the card might belong to the subject.
Tight squeeze
Following a complaint about tailgating, the driver of a pickup truck told police he was following another car closely as they passed an accident Dec. 5 near the Gorham bypass before continuing on Route 114.
