Boston Man Accused Of Attempting To Burglarize NH Gun Shops

CONCORD, NH — A Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of attempting to burglarize at least four gun shops in New Hampshire.

William Guerrero, 20, of Brighton, Massachusetts, was arrested on a conspiracy to steal firearms from federally licensed firearm dealers charge on Monday.

According to U.S. Attorney John J. Farley, local, regional, and federal law enforcement agencies investigated “a series of efforts to conduct burglaries at federally licensed firearms dealers” on Saturday and Sunday in Hooksett, Kingston, Plaistow, and Salem.

In the Hooksett case, around 5 a.m. on Sunday, a vehicle pulled in front of Shooters Outpost and Firearms Museum and four men were captured on video surveillance attempting to burglarize the store. The men attempted to gain access to the store by smashing a window on a rear door, according to Farley.

Guerrero was arrested on Monday in Massachusetts.

Farley said the investigation was ongoing. The attempted burglaries are being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local and state police agencies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS.
