Police Seek Assistance After Armed Home Invasion

PELHAM, NH — Police in Pelham are asking for the public’s help after an armed home invasion last night, according to a report. At around 10:15 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2017, officers were sent to West Street for a report of an armed home invasion. Two men, described as Hispanic, burglarized the home and robbed a couple at gunpoint, according to Lt. Anne Perriello of the Pelham Police Department.

“Dispatch was able to get further information as officers were responding that the suspects had fled the property in a vehicle and that no one was hurt as a result of the robbery,” she noted. “Officers arrived and were met with the male and female victims. The female was very upset and told officers that they had been watching television in the basement when two Hispanic males kicked the front door open and held a gun to their head.”

Perriello stated that a preliminary investigation shows that the victims may have been targeted and the incident might be drug and/or cash related. No one else was home at the time of the incident.

“We do not feel as if the public is in any danger and this was specifically a targeted incident,” she stated.

Police posted home surveillance footage of the suspects. The Hillsborough County Street Crimes Task Force is actively assisting the department with the investigation. Anyone with information should contact the Pelham Police Department at 603-635-2411, use Tip Line 411, or the Citizen Observer on the department's new app that is also anonymous.
