Nashua Police Seek Help Finding ‘High-Value’ Theft Suspect

NASHUA, NH — Nashua police issued an alert on Thursday asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect in several “high-value” thefts in the city in November and December 2022.

Police became aware of the thefts from Costco on the Daniel Webster Highway at the end of last year. According to Lt. Joshua Albert, detectives investigated the thefts and, along with the department’s crime analysis unit and help from Manchester police, identified Justin G. Martin, 36, as a suspect in the case.

“At the time of each theft,” he said, “Martin was on bail for a previous theft offense committed in Manchester … subsequently violating the conditions of his bail. Also, during the crime spree, Martin was actively on probation stemming from another previous theft-related incident.”

Martin is white, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 180 pounds, with partially gray hair, and green eyes. He could be in New Hampshire or Massachusetts. Martin was also known to drive a white Ford Fusion sedan.

“Do not approach or attempt to apprehend Martin,” Albert warned.

According to superior court records, Martin is a felon due to identity fraud and forgery convictions out of Manchester from August 2008 when he was in his early 20s. He was found later to be in violation of probation in February 2012.

Martin was convicted on felony theft charges in April 2014 in Manchester. He was convicted on drug possession and falsifying physical evidence charges after being charged by state police, robbery in Hooksett, and felony theft and willful concealment in Salem in January 2018. In May 2018, he was convicted on more theft charges.

Martin was also arrested on Feb. 3, 2021, on false report to law enforcement, disobeying an officer, operating without a valid license, and unregistered motor vehicle charges after an incident on Water Street. He was also arrested on theft and resisting charges in September 2020 after an incident at Cumberland Farms. Martin was also arrested on assault and domestic violence charges in August 2019.
