Alleged Accomplice Arrested In 2017 Salvation Army Store Robbery

PORTSMOUTH, NH — A second person has been arrested following an investigation by Portsmouth Police into an armed robbery at a local store last year, according to a press statement. Malgorzata Arabudzki, 47, of Holiday Drive in Portsmouth, was arrested on Feb. 19, 2018, for criminal liability for the conduct of another-accomplice to robbery, a felony. Her arrest, according to Det. Sgt. John Peracchi of the Portsmouth Police Department, stems from a robbery that occurred on Dec. 18, 2017, at the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Lafayette Road.

“Two employees reported, while exiting the store after closing, (that) they were approached in the parking lot by a white male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and ski mask pointing a gun at them asking for the money bag,” he stated. “The suspect obtained a bag and then fled the scene.”

Laurie was arrested on an armed robbery charge last week after a multi-month investigation.

Arabudzki was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and the case is being handled by the Rockingham County Attorney’s Office Felonies First program.

This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Det. Matthew Hester 603-610-7502.
