An Epsom man is facing charges after police found over $100,000 worth of stolen dirt bikes, snowmobiles, tractors, and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on his property.

Jerry Dupont, 42, of 32 Range Road in Epsom, was arrested at his home on Tuesday, Aug. 12, after Pembroke and Epsom police executed a search warrant resulting from a several week- long investigation into a dirt bike stolen from a Pembroke home.

Right now, Dupont is charged with receiving stolen property, a Class A felony punishable by jail time. More serious charges may develop as the investigation into who actually stole the equipment further develops, police said.

Lt. Dwayne Gilman of the Pembroke Police Department said there are most likely other suspects involved.

“This isn’t normally a oneperson deal,” he said.

In cases such as this one, it’s often difficult to prove who actually stole the items.

“No one is jumping ahead of us saying, ‘Hey, I’m the one who stole the bike,” Gilman said. “Right now, we don’t feel we have enough to go after the person who actually stole it.”

The dirt bike was taken from Pembroke on July 12, and the Pembroke police were able to gather enough information to search Dupont’s home.

When police began tracing the other vehicles contained in Dupont’s garage and elsewhere on his property, they found several other items which came up as stolen, said Epsom Police Chief Wayne Preve, allowing Epsom police to execute their own search warrant.

Police seized four motorcycles, three snowmobiles, one ATV and two skid/steer tractors.

The items came up as stolen from Epsom, Holderness, Northwood, Moultonborough, Deerfield, Barnstead and Boxford, Mass.

Also among the items recovered was a snow machine from Bickford Sports Center on Dover Road in Epsom, Preve said. “We’re dealing with 14 or 15 different items here,” said Preve.

Some of the property recovered still has to be verified as stolen or as belonging to Dupont, Preve said.

Pembroke police called the Epsom Police Department and told them they were going to search Dupont’s home, and asked for assistance, Preve said.

“Pembroke did an excellent job of getting the information, and it just opened a big can of worms,” said Preve. “Right now, it’s still under investigation.”

Dupont was not at home when police arrived on Aug. 12 at 10 a.m. to search the home, but officers had his daughter call him and he arrived shortly after.

Because the property was found in Epsom, Preve said, Epsom will be the charging jurisdiction in the case. Dupont was released on $2,500 cash bail. He is scheduled to appear in Concord District Court on Wednesday, Sept. 17, to answer to the receiving stolen property charge.
