Concord Police Arrest Home Burglar

The Concord Police have arrested a man on a home burglary charge on Warren Street who may have been involved in others in the Downtown Concord area.

Michael Maynard, 49, was arrested and charged with burglary, a felony, and two counts of default or breach of bail conditions.

According to a press release from Lt. Timothy O’Malley, the commander of the department’s criminal investigations unit, Maynard was arrested on New Year’s Eve in the afternoon on a default charge. He refused bail and was sent to the Merrimack County Jail, waiting to be arraigned. Yesterday, a warrant was issued for the burglary charge.

Last week, police issued a Concord Regional Crimeline alert about home burglaries that were possibly targeting seniors and as a result of the alert and subsequent investigation, police alleged that Maynard forced his way into an unoccupied home on Warren Street on Dec. 28, and stole several items.

“This is an ongoing investigation and the Concord Police have not eliminated the possibility that other persons may be involved,” O’Malley said.

Maynard refused bail on the second round of charges and will be arraigned today.

Maynard, according to police reports, was arrested on Oct. 29, on a simple assault charge.

Anyone in Concord who might have more information about the burglaries is asked to reach out to the Crimeline or the police.
