Vehicle Operation Complaint In Concord Cemetery Leads To Arrests

CONCORD, NH — A vehicle operation complaint has led to several arrests in a Concord cemetery on Friday.

Around 8:15 p.m., police received a call about a car racing around Blossom Hill and Calvary Cemetery. The caller also reported what appeared like a lot of young people hanging out on the northwest side of the property.

Police arrived and began checking the plates of vehicles in the cemetery and people who were in the area of the east entrance to the quarries — a historically notorious place for parties among young people in the city.

During the next two hours, police checked people and took them into custody for various reasons, including unlawful possession. The ages of the people ranged from 14 to 19, according to scanner chatter.

Parents around the city were also called to come and get their children.

During the investigation, a teenager called 911 from the woods, saying they were lost after getting separated from their friends. He said he was near powerlines. Other police officers were sent to the cemetery to assist, including looking for the man.

Later, dispatch said the man was able to make his way out of the woods by following the police cruiser lights.
