A pair of local residents was arrested last week on felony charges after a lengthy investigation into television thefts at the Radisson Hotel on Tara Boulevard.

Thomas Pettiglio, 47, and Erika Ritchie, 32, both of West Hollis Street in Nashua, were arrested at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 9, on theft by unauthorized taking or transfer charges.

According to police, officers were sent to the hotel on Aug. 26, for a report of a theft of two 50-inch screen televisions that had been taken from a room.

On Oct. 2, and Oct. 5, the hotel reported eight more television sets stolen.

The televisions were valued at around $1,000 each, according to the report.
