New Hampshire Burglar, With ‘History Of Drug Offenses,’ Wanted By Department Of Corrections

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help in finding a convicted burglar who is wanted for a parole violation after being accused of absconding from supervision.

Bobby Richard Sanders is 41, white, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 165 pounds. He has hazel eyes and brown hair. Sanders has a full-sleeve tattoo on his left arm and sometimes uses the alias “Bobby Sanders Jr.” He is wanted on warrants out of Carroll County, Strafford County, and Chester County, Tennessee, and Mercer County, New Jersey.

Sanders was sentenced to probation on burglary and theft charges in 2022 and “has a history of drug offenses,” an alert stated. He was accused of absconding after being released on bail in 2024, following the filing of new charges in Strafford County Superior Court. Sanders was also accused of failing to appear in criminal cases in New Jersey and Tennessee, the alert stated.

“Sanders has ties throughout the U.S., as he was born in Texas and has had driver’s licenses in Florida, Tennessee, Maine, and New Hampshire,” the alert stated. “Sanders was last known to be residing in Dover, NH, while he was on bail supervision with electronic monitoring when he fled, and his current whereabouts are unknown.”
