Two Charged With Stealing From Friends

Ahmed Mohamed Abdillahi, 20, and Hashi Haussein Ali, 19, both of Portland, were charged with a residential burglary after they allegedly cut the screen in a door of an apartment on High Street to gain entry to the premises. The two were known acquaintances of the two residents, who woke up to find the men searching through the pockets of their pants.
