CONCORD, NH — Concord police and the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force rounded up seven people on various charges including sex offender registration, parole violations, drug possession, and child endangerment charges.

The enforcement surge occurred Tuesday during about a 12-hour period starting in the morning and ending around 11:30 p.m., according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Andrew Grillo. Concord detectives organized the effort while the marshal's service assembled the team. Rockingham and Strafford county sheriff employees and police from Greenfield, Manchester, and Nashua assisted in the surge operation.

“After breaking into teams,” Grillo said, “lists of wanted individuals with an array of crimes ranging from sex offender registration and parole violations to narcotic-related offenses and child endangerment charges were distributed.”
