Manchester Police Investigate Multiple Convenience Store Burglaries and Robberies

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — The Manchester Police Department is actively investigating a series of security breaches and robberies targeting convenience stores across the city, requesting the public's assistance in identifying multiple individuals caught on security footage.

The investigations cover multiple incidents spanning early to mid-2026. In the earliest reported case on January 16, 2026, officers responded to a commercial address following reports of a convenience store armed robbery. According to police, a suspect entered the establishment, threatened the staff, and managed to flee the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement. Investigators have been analyzing physical evidence and area camera footage to identify the perpetrator.

In a separate incident in May 2026, police released surveillance photos and video showing a burglar breaking into a local convenience store and specifically targeting kratom products. The security footage shows the suspect navigating the store shelves and exiting with the merchandise. Law enforcement officials are urging local business owners to remain vigilant and ensure their security systems are fully operational.

Anyone who recognizes the individuals in the released footage or has any information regarding these incidents is urged to contact the Manchester Police Department's investigative division or submit an anonymous tip through the local Crime Line.
