The officer spoke with a loss prevention employee who alleged that a man and woman had been coming into the store and cutting security wires on electronic devices and then, leaving the store without paying for the items. The alleged thefts occurred on June 30, July 27, Aug. 10, Aug. 31, and Sept. 3, 2017. The value of the items – including an Amazon Echo, in one incident – was more than $4,700.

The loss prevention employee also alleged that the couple had hit Target stores in Bedford, Hooksett, and Somersworth as well as Concord, according to an affidavit.

The officer eyed the video and she reported that a man was allegedly seen cutting the security measure and concealing the item in the woman’s purse.

Later, according to the investigation, the man was reportedly identified by his probation officer as Tolstuck. The woman was identified as Quinn via her license and Facebook site, according to the affidavit.
