Homeless Man, Allegedly Rifling Through West End Vehicles, Caught

CONCORD, NH — A homeless man, now located in Concord, was arrested last week on numerous charges after allegedly being caught on camera rifling through a vehicle on Auburn Street earlier in February. Alexander S. Allard, year of birth 1996, was arrested at 10:24 a.m. on Feb. 24, 2018, on three counts of possession of controlled drugs, resisting arrest or detention, and three warrants. Allard was picked up Saturday in the state hospital area of the city, according to a police blotter entry.

Investigators were able to track down Allard after residents began reporting car break-ins in the area around White Park, specifically, Auburn, Liberty, and Warren streets. One person shared a note – including a picture of the suspect – on Feb. 22, on the Concord NH Patch Facebook site.

“This photo was taken about lunchtime by a neighbor of mine – he was sitting in his car smoking a cigarette ransacking the vehicle,” the tipster stated.

Other readers also shared the photo online and reported it to police. Another reader – who also stated her car was broken into – identified the suspect as Allard, sharing a post from his Facebook site.

“He broke into my car last night and stole my glasses, can I use this post when I go and talk to the police?,” she asked.

The screenshot of Allard’s Facebook site purported to show the woman’s stolen sunglasses. Allard wrote on his page, “So the guys know I’m all good.”

One of Allard’s friends countered, “lol you good? Thats (sic) why you still breaking into cars.”

Allard is no stranger to police. In mid-December 2017, he was arrested on a possession charge as well as warrants. In November 2016, he was arrested on a theft charge after an alleged incident at Hannaford.
