Concord Police Hunting for Armed Robbery Suspect

Investigators in the Concord Police Department are looking for a Concord man who was allegedly involved in an armed robbery outside the Residence Inn by Marriott on Hall Street on Oct. 11.

According to a Concord Regional Crimeline alert, police were called to Hall Street around 2:30 p.m. after a witness reported a possible armed robbery in front of the hotel with the suspects fleeing the area.

Police were able to catch up with the suspected vehicle near an apartment complex near Old Suncook Road, according to Lt. Timothy O’Malley, the commander of the department’s criminal investigations division. According to O’Malley, one suspect fled the area on foot while two remained at the scene and were caught.

Police allege that the suspect that is currently on the loose is Cory W. Porter, 28, of Concord.

Three of the four people allegedly involved in the incident were captured by police. Angela Marie Porter, 31, of Concord, was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, a felony; Sarah Lynn Patz, 32, of Concord, was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, a felony; and James Hunter, of Concord, was charged with criminal liability for the conduct of another, also a felony. Police allege that both Angela Porter and Hunter were the suspects at the scene when the vehicle stopped.

Police allege that the four had created a scheme to jump two people they believed might be in possession of “a quantity of drugs.” The four then located the two individuals on Hall Street. Cory Porter and Patz allegedly exited the car, hid behind a bush, and confronted the individuals, according to police.

“During this incident, it is alleged that Cory Porter used a handgun to threaten one of the two victims,” O’Malley stated.

The three reportedly fled the scene in the car with Patz allegedly fleeing the scene on foot. She was later caught by police near the scene.

Angela Porter refused bail and was arraigned earlier today. Patz was held on $25,000 cash bail and will be arraigned later today. Hunter was released on $100,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned on Nov. 19.

According to O’Malley, Cory Porter has a number of active warrants for his arrest for robbery, criminal threatening, and conspiracy to commit robbery. He was arrested on March 15, on two fraudulent use of a credit card charges and a theft by unauthorized taking or transfer charge.

Cory Porter was described as being six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes. He weighs about 180 lbs. O’Malley warned that if anyone sees Cory Porter, they should “use extreme caution as he is possibly armed.”
