Police Seek Tips In Gun Brandishing Investigation

PELHAM, NH — Investigators in the southern part of New Hampshire are asking for the public’s help with an alleged gun brandishing incident at a store in Pelham last month, according to an alert. At around 10:30 p.m. on June 28, 2017, police were called to the Tobacco Junction store on Bridge Street for a report of a fight at the store. The reporting party, according to Lt. Anne Perriello of the Pelham Police Department, didn’t have a phone to contact police immediately after the incident but did about 20 minutes after the incident.

“The witness told police that a fist fight occurred between two males outside of the store,” according to Perriello. “One of the males that was originally involved in the fight returned to his Toyota Camry in the parking lot, opened his trunk, and pulled out what appeared to be a revolver.”

The unidentified male allegedly showed the gun to the other people involved in the fight. Those subjects got into a light-colored Ford Edge and quickly took off southbound on Bridge Street toward Dracut, MA.

“The male that pulled the gun is shown in the surveillance video pointing the gun at the Ford and motioning as if he is shooting the gun at the moving car,” Perriello stated. “There were additional passengers that had exited the Camry when the fight had originally taken place. There was one white female and two black males. All four occupants appear in the surveillance video inside the store a short time after the fight.”

The Pelham Police is looking to identify anyone involved in this incident. The involved parties did not file a police report. The Toyota Camry has very identifiable markings. There is what appears to be three pieces of duct tape on the rear passenger window of the sedan, a missing hub cap on the front passenger side tire and possibly a mixed color combination on the front bumper and/or hood.

Anyone with information on the incident or if you know the identity of the people involved, contact the Pelham Police Criminal Bureau at 603-635-2411.
