Suspect held after allegedly fleeing burglary in taxi

By The Associated Press wire report July 12, 2008 03:14 PM

SOUTH BERWICK $ Police say a 29-year-old Maine man called a taxi to take him home while police were searching for him with a dog and a search plane following a burglary at a golf course pro shop.

Andrew Gerrish of Sanford is being held on $5,000 bail on a burglary charge.
Police say Gerrish and a 17-year-old juvenile fled on foot when officers responded to a silent alarm at the Links at Outlook Golf Course in South Berwick in May.

The juvenile was caught a short time later, but police say Gerrish made a getaway despite a police manhunt that involved a K-9 unit and a Maine State Police airplane.

Police say at some point during the chase, Gerrish called a taxi that picked him up and drove him to Sanford.

A police investigation later led to Gerrish, resulting in his arrest last weekend.
