Out-of-State Suspect Arrested Following Residential Dirt Bike Heist

A rapid response by local law enforcement has resulted in the recovery of stolen property and the arrest of an out-of-state burglary suspect. According to the New Hampshire State Police, a 22-year-old resident of Connecticut, identified as Nathan Bolduc, has been taken into custody following an early morning residential break-in.

The East Kingston Break-In

The incident occurred during the early morning hours on Friday. Authorities state that Bolduc targeted a private residence located in East Kingston. During the break-in, the suspect successfully bypassed the home's exterior security and stole two off-road dirt bikes from the property.

The successful arrest hinged on proactive police work shortly after the initial burglary was reported. While patrolling the area, an officer from the local Kingston Police Department spotted a suspicious vehicle parked in a nearby commercial lot. Upon closer inspection, the officer discovered one of the stolen dirt bikes lying on the ground directly next to the vehicle, alongside various tools believed to have been used in the burglary.

Following the discovery, police were able to secure the scene, recover the stolen property, and ultimately locate and arrest Bolduc, who is now facing several severe felony charges.

Securing Off-Road Vehicles at Home

Dirt bikes, ATVs, and high-end bicycles are highly prized targets for residential burglars because they are incredibly valuable, difficult to trace, and easy to quickly roll off a property. Homeowners must implement specific security measures to protect these assets:

• Physical Anchors: Simply locking a garage or shed is not enough. All off-road vehicles must be physically secured to a heavy-duty, concrete-mounted ground anchor. Use a thick, cut-resistant security chain and a commercial-grade padlock to tether the frame of the bike directly to the floor.
• Obscure the View: Never leave garage doors open during the day if expensive recreational vehicles are inside, as this allows passing thieves to "case" the property. Frost or cover all exterior garage and shed windows to prevent anyone from seeing what is stored inside.
• Standalone Alarms: Install a loud, motion-activated alarm siren directly inside the shed or garage where the vehicles are stored. The deafening noise will often cause a burglar to abandon the theft and flee before they can defeat the physical locks.
