• 3 charged with stealing used cooking oil from local restaurants, police say (nbcboston.com) — Hampton police say three men were arrested after a local restaurant employee spotted a suspicious rental truck and officers later found about 1,000 gallons of allegedly stolen used cooking oil. Investigators link the suspects and trucks to earlier theft attempts in Hampton and Massachusetts, and the police chief credits quick reporting by staff and cooperation with law enforcement partners.
   

• NH charitable gaming system faces calls for more oversight (nhpr.org) — New Hampshire's booming charitable gaming industry is drawing scrutiny over how casinos choose nonprofit partners and how little oversight exists on where millions in gaming proceeds actually go. For Hampton residents, the former Aces + Eights site is cited among casinos expected to expand, meaning more local gaming activity even as lawmakers debate only modest accountability changes so far.
