Police say a man hired to do work at a Dunbarton home stole more than $1,400 in jewelry before fleeing when confronted by the homeowners.
Jonathan Lacourse, 20, of Manchester faces a felony charge of theft and is set to appear in Concord’s district court Oct. 3.
Dunbarton police said Lacourse took a break from work Saturday when he stole jewelry from inside the Mansion Road home. After leaving the area, Lacourse was later found in Goffstown with the jewelry and admitted to the theft, police said.
Goffstown police assisted Dunbarton officers in apprehending Lacourse.
