On Friday, Oct. 23, at approximately 11:45 p.m., officers from the Bedford Police Department located two suspicious vehicles behind a closed business on Chestnut Drive.
They began to check the building and observed through a window a subject duck under a desk and kick a chair away. They called out to the subject inside and did not receive a response.
Additional units responded and one of the officers could see two people inside of the building near a window, but still did not get a response. The tenant occupying the office was contacted and advised that no one should be inside.
Officers on scene continued to attempt to make contact with the people inside, but they would not respond.
A K-9 unit from Manchester PD was contacted to assist in searching the building.
At 1:10 a.m., officers conducted a search of the building and found two people hiding inside.
Christopher Belair, 18, and Ariel Bourgeois, 18, both of Bedford, were charged with burglary (Felony Class B) and held on $10,000 cash bail with an arraignment date of Monday, Oct. 26, at 8 a.m., at Milford District Court.
