Concord Police Excavate Yard At Airport Road Drug Den Site: Watch

CONCORD, NH — Concord police excavated the site of a former drug den on Airport Road on Friday.

During the past 30-plus hours or so, and three days in March, police have been at 58 Airport Road searching the property for an unknown reason.

On Thursday afternoon and evening, a single evidence technician vehicle and several officers in hazmat suits were seen digging around the south end of the property as well as accessing a bulkhead and basement. On Friday, a Concord General Services truck and a city excavator were seen at the property. A second evidence truck was also in the driveway of the home.

Detectives, including some who worked on the Stephen and Djeswende Reid murder case, were seen directing the general services employee during the dig.

Earlier on Friday, Deputy Chief John Thomas of the Concord Police Department offered no comment concerning the investigation.

Around 5:30 p.m., the excavator was loaded up on its trailer and hauled away. Detectives were still at the scene, sifting through dirt. A scene security detail has been scheduled for the site overnight, according to scanner chatter.
