Teens From Merrimack Arrested On Felony Theft Charges In Nashua

NASHUA, NH — The theft of tools from construction trailers at the Fairgrounds Middle and Elementary schools have led to charges against three men from Merrimack.

On Oct. 28, police were sent to the school grounds after tools from construction trailers were reported stolen during the overnight hours, according to Lt. Patrick Hannon of the Nashua Police Department.

"It was learned that two businesses performing work on the schools had construction trailers on site which were broken into," he said. "Each company sustained a loss of more than $1,500."

The Criminal Investigation Division furthered the case ultimately identified these three men as suspects. Cody Cook, 18, and Brent Matthew Wallin, 19, of Turkey Hill Road in Merrimack were arrested on Dec. 2 and charged with two felony counts of theft by unauthorized taking or transfer each.
