LEBANON, Maine - Authorities from Maine, Massachusetts, and the ATF are looking for two men in connection with a gun theft in Lebanon earlier this month, State Police reported on Wednesday.

One woman has been arrested in connection with the burglary, which took place at a town residence, a press release from state police spokesman Stephen McCausland stated.

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

One of the guns was recovered in Revere, Mass.

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.

Coordinating with Maine State Police, the Massachusetts State Police, and the ATF issued arrest warrants for Isabella Lupis, 21, of Salem, Mass.; Gabriel Calderon, 29, of Lynn, Mass., and Paul Votano, 35, of Lynn.

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.
