CONCORD, NH — Robert John Atwood, 41, a homeless man now located in Concord, was arrested at 2:04 a.m. on July 29, 2024, on a theft by unauthorized taking-$1,501-plus charge. Police were sent to NE Life at 41 Terrill Park Drive around 10:30 a.m. on April 22 for a report of a 2021 Nissan van theft. The officer received information from Pembroke police that Atwood was in the van two days before, the affidavit stated. An employee was interviewed about the theft as well as video footage of the van being stolen on April 19. The officer eyed the video and “positively identified” the man as Atwood, the report stated. No other people were near the van, the officer wrote. The officer then went to Pembroke to speak to police who had the van. Inside, they found several food wrappers and ciggie butts in cups. The officer learned later a driver had left the keys in the van since Enterprise was supposed to pick it up, the report stated. On May 16, the employee was interviewed again and they said the van was emptied out and had been in the lot for about a month. They said they had a single employee who smoked but they did not use that van. The range of the value of the van, the officer found out on June 11, was between $5,600 and $8,213, according to Kelly Blue Book. An officer from Pembroke reconfirmed with the Concord officer that Atwood was found in the driver’s seat parked at a Pembroke business, the affidavit said. When questioned about him having the van, Atwood was accused of saying it belonged to a friend, but he could not provide a name of his “friend,” the officer wrote. A warrant was issued on July 24.
