🌱 Police Search For Wanted Man + Free Dental Care For 600 Children

Good morning, neighbors. I'm here with your Saturday edition of the Manchester Daily, filled with all the community information you need to know right now.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Manchester who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Manchester:

1. The Manchester Police Department is searching for 29-year-old William Farnsworth. Farnsworth is wanted on felony charges in connection with a brutal assault of a five-month-old puppy which died from its injuries. Anyone with information about Farnsworth’s whereabouts, who is pictured at the link, is asked to call Manchester Police at (603) 668-8711 or the anonymous Manchester Crimeline at (603) 624-4040.

Fillings and extractions will be provided under the Defense Department’s Innovative Readiness Training Program. Mayor Joyce Craig said, “Our students deserve high-quality, preventive care, and I’m grateful for the support from the NHARNG in providing these services.” (Subscription: New Hampshire Union Leader)
