On Jan. 19, police were sent to Havenwood on Christian Avenue to investigate the theft of two snowblowers, with a combined value of around $5,400, that were stolen from a tent on the property.

The owner of a construction company stated that the snowblowers were used the day before and put away around 2 p.m. The next morning, at around 9 a.m., they were gone. The man stated that two days before, he had been asked about selling the snowblowers by two men who were thinking about starting a service and were looking for old machines. One of the men was named Michael; the other, Tim, according to the court affidavit. Tim had worked a single day for the man shoveling snow earlier in the week, he noted.

The next day, the investigating officer received an email from the man reportedly stating that the man he believed who had stolen the snowblowers was named Tim Landry, according to the court affidavit. One of his employees had met with Landry and he allegedly admitted to stealing the snowblowers and pawning them, according to the report. The victim also called Landry and he allegedly admitted to stealing and pawning them, he stated.

The officer then called Landry, who reportedly stated he was in Maine working on a logging crew, and spoke with him about the case.

“He told me his vehicle was used to take the snow blowers, but he didn’t know they belonged to (the construction company),” according to the affidavit. “Landry stated, ‘Boston Mike’ told him that the two snow blowers belonged to him and he had gone with (him) to pick them up and they brought them to different pawn shops.”

Landry allegedly stated that he spoke to the owner of the company and was attempting to get the snowblowers back, hoping nothing would come of the incident, according to the affidavit.

The officer spoke to a member of Landry’s family who alleged that he had called asking for money to get the snowblowers back. The family member also alleged in the court affidavit that he was asked to lie and say Landry was in Maine. The family member stated that he wouldn’t lie, since there had been a number of past problems with Landry, according to the affidavit.

Loudon burglary

On Jan. 25, Loudon Police began an investigation into a burglary at a home on North Village Road, right next door to his parent’s home, according to an affidavit.

A sergeant investigated the situation at the home and found that a door had been broken and there was glass on a kitchen floor. Police later learned that there was a witness to the burglary who reportedly put Landry at the scene, according to the report.

The sergeant spoke with the witness who alleged seeing Landry and when the witness confronted him, he allegedly “ran off into the woods carrying a backpack suspected to hold evidence from the burglary,” according to the court affidavit.

A New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit was called in to try and track Landry. The trail led to a neighbor’s house who reported that Landry was reportedly at their house earlier and asked to use a phone and get a ride. The man stated that he wouldn’t give him a ride but let him use the phone. The sergeant reported that Landry allegedly called a cab and got a ride to Walmart in Concord.

The victim later told police that about $140 was stolen from the home during the burglary, according to the report.

Stolen iPhone 6S

An arrest warrant was issued on Jan. 25, by Loudon Police.

Two days after that, officers were sent to meet with a man outside of Home Depot who alleged that his cellphone was stolen at just before 8 p.m.

The mall vendor alleged that a man requested to use his cellphone to make a call. He obliged and then the man reportedly took off with the phone, an iPhone 6S. The man gave chase and while doing so, the man fleeing reportedly threw down a phone. But the man stated it was an old cellphone, not his, according to the report. The man lost him at Home Depot but gave officers a description and they began to search the area.

About 50 minutes later, the man allegedly spotted the guy he said stole his phone at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Shell gas station on Loudon Road. Officers headed to the scene and the victim pointed out the man to them.

After seeing police, the suspect – later identified as Landry – allegedly tried to run around the back of the building but was stopped by officers and arrested.
