A Cornish, New Hampshire police officer was injured on Saturday while attempting to apprehend three juveniles suspected of committing multiple thefts.
According to a post on the Cornish Police Department’s Facebook page, the department received a report of three suspicious individuals outside a home on Townhouse Road at approximately 2:40 AM on Saturday, March 13th. With assistance from the NH State Police and Claremont Police Department, authorities were able to locate the three males, all aged between 14 and 16 years old.
Reportedly, when attempting to apprehend the juveniles, two of which possessed knives, one began to fight an officer. The officer was injured in the altercation and required medical treatment.
Further investigation has led officers to believe that the three juveniles have been involved in multiple motor vehicle thefts in the Cornish, Plainfield, and Windsor areas. Police are asking anyone in the area of Route 12A or Townhouse Road to report missing items from their vehicles, and to check external cameras for suspicious activity.
To report such activity, contact the Cornish PD at 603-543-0535 or via email at Doug.Hackett@CornishNH.net.
