Bow has been hit with a number of seemingly unrelated thefts in different locations throughout the town over the past week.

On Aug. 8, Bow police took a report from a home on Logging Hill Road, saying the homeowners had been on vacation from Aug. 3 to 8, and upon returning, found a number of electronics missing.

Early in the morning on Aug. 9, Bow police Lt. Dave Girard said officers received a call about potentially suspicious activity and, upon arrival, found items in the road, such as golf clubs, which he later learned were stolen from a residential garage.

As the morning progressed, police investigated a total of four incidents with items such as cash and a radar detector missing from residents of Cardinal and Chelsea drives.

The police investigation focused on a small gathering of teenagers, and later were able to put together enough information to make the first arrest of the investigation.

Colby Apple, 17, of Bow was arrested and charged with two felony counts of criminal liability for conduct of another, also known as accomplice to burglary. He was also charged with unlawful possession of alcohol.

Girard also said more arrests were expected soon as an arrest warrant is in the works for an 18-year-old and a 16-year-old, who will be charged through the juvenile court, and both likely being charged with criminal liability for conduct of another.

Although he said he has been looking over the evidence to see if there are any connections between the incidents, Girard believes at this time the thefts are not related, though he said the police will not rule anything out.

The Bow Police Department encourages anyone with information to call them no matter how small the tip may be, said Girard.

“If anyone sees anything unusual – vehicles that seem out of place, people in the neighborhood who may seem suspicious, things like that – they should call us. I know people think it is nothing, but we encourage those types of calls.”
