Computer Shops Raided After Stolen Property Investigation

Local police have arrested two men after a multi-month investigation into stolen property bought and sold out of two area computer repair shops.

Arrested were Kyle Perkins, 23, pictured left, of Concord, on two counts of receiving stolen property, and Chad Fennessey, 23, of Allenstown, on a single receiving stolen property charge. Perkins is expected to face an added felony receiving stolen property charge since one of the items was a handgun.

According to a Concord Regional Crimeline alert, investigators from the three departments as well as the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office executed search warrants against EZ Computer & IPhone Repair locations in Concord and Goffstown yesterday.

“It is alleged that large volumes of stolen property were being bought and sold at the businesses which also serve as pawn shops as well as doing phone and computer repair,” according to Lt. Timothy O’Malley, the commander of the criminal investigations unit for the Concord Police Department. “The search warrants also alleged that in several instances the property in question had been stolen during residential burglaries or thefts from local businesses. Items found at the Goffstown location included a firearm listed as stolen out of another New Hampshire community, as well as a cell phone and some home repair tools reported stolen out of Goffstown, among other items.”

Goffstown issued a warrant against Perkins before the search warrants were issued. Concord later arrested him and he was turned over to Goffstown and he was released on $1,000 cash bail. Perkins is due in court on Dec. 8.

Fennessey is due in court on Oct. 19.

O’Malley stated that the investigation into the case is ongoing and more charges are forthcoming. Police are asking anyone who may have any information about this business to contact the Concord Regional Crimeline.
