The Boston & Maine Railroad Police Department, along with the Nashua Police Department, is looking for assistance from the public in the ongoing investigation of a switch tampering incident that occurred in the Nashua Railroad yard. During the evening hours of Saturday, March 14, 2009, the Boston & Maine Railroad Police Department were made aware that a railroad track switch, in the area of the Nashua Railroad Yard, was unlawfully thrown.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Nashua Crimeline at 603-589-1665 or the Nashua Police Department at 603-594-3500.

 The victim reported that while working at the West Hollis Street Shell (347 West Hollis St.) on Sun., 1/4, at 2315 hrs., an intoxicated White male (18-20 years of age, 170 lbs., 5”11”, long, black, curly hair) grabbed two six packs of Budweiser bottles, said “Thanks bud”, and then exited the store without paying for the beer. When the victim confronted the suspect outside of the store, the suspect hit him in the face with the beer and both the suspect and victim fell to the ground. A Hispanic male (18-20 years of age, wearing a brown waist-length jacket and tan and white skate boarding sneakers) exited his waiting 4-door dark colored sedan and helped the suspect into the vehicle. The suspects then fled.
