LEBANON, Maine (WGAN)  Authorities from Maine, Massachusetts, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms are looking for two men in connection with a gun theft in Lebanon.

State Police say one woman has been arrested in connection with the burglary that took place at a home in Lebanon earlier in the month.

On March 13, Maine State Trooper Travis Doughty investigated a burglary at the home in Lebanon, where six firearms, knives, jewelry, electronics and numerous other items were taken.

The next day, the Massachusetts State Police had contact with a vehicle in Revere, in which one of the stolen guns from Lebanon was recovered.

The Massachusetts State Police STOP Team (Special Tactical Operations Team) then searched some homes in greater Boston which resulted in the recovery of two more of the stolen firearms from Lebanon.

Arrest warrants were then issued for Isabella Lupis, 21, of Salem, Mass., Gabriel Calderon, 29, of Lynn, Mass., and Paul Votano, 35, of Lynn, Mass.

On March 19, Lupis was arrested by the Massachusetts State Police and is being held in Massachusetts on a Fugitive from Justice charge. She will be extradited back to Maine at some point in the near future.

Calderon and Votano have yet to be located and are being sought by the Massachusetts State Police.

There is also the possibility of additional persons being charged as the investigation continues.
