BIG MOOSE TOWNSHIP, Maine — Police are investigating a break-in at Plum Creek´s offices in Greenville in which three computers were stolen.

The computers were missing after burglars rifled through files of the company, which is planning a large development in the region. There was nothing sensitive contained in the files, said Plum Creek spokesman Jim Lehner.

Two months ago, vandals targeted Plum Creek´s state headquarters in Fairfield when someone cut down a large sign in front of the building and spray-painted messages including "Leave Our Land" and "Maine Is Not For Sale."

The break-in discovered Wednesday came after environmental and conservation activists launched an effort to kill the project that includes 1,000 house lots, two resorts, three RV parks, a golf course, marina and rental cabins.
