Man steals donated Harley and drives through New Hampshire bar to get away
HAMPTON, N.H. – A Memorial Day motorcycle theft caught on camera has left owners at the L Street Tavern in Hampton, New Hampshire, stunned.
“The bike was stolen off the patio in broad daylight,” L Street Tavern owner, Terry Diadone, said.
Motorcycle to benefit Salisbury family battling Alzheimer’s
This was no ordinary motorcycle. This was a custom-made Harley-Davidson that’s been parked on the patio of the L Street Tavern for past several weeks. The motorcycle was to be raffled off to help raise money for a Salisbury family battling Alzheimer’s. The fundraiser helped raise $23,000 for family. The Harley was donated by a bike collector in South Carolina who knew the Salisbury family and wanted to make difference. Then, the day of the raffle, the unthinkable happened.
“It’s been under lock and key. Under surveillance no idea someone steel that bike,” Diadone said.
Theft caught on camera
Police identified a suspect in the theft as 26-year-old Brian Bennett from Amesbury. Surveillance shows a man who appears to be Bennett stealing the bike.
“He had one of our guys who thought he was the winner move stuff out of the way and then he just took off down the patio,” Diadone said.
Surveillance also caught him driving it right out the front door of the restaurant. That’s when L Street’s owners quickly called police.
“The Seabrook Police Department spotted the vehicle – spotted the motorcycle – they activated their lights in an attempt to stop the motorcycle. He took off at high rate of speed. They decided not to pursue,” Hampton Police Chief Alex Reno said.
Bennett was eventually stopped and arrested in Wrentham after running out of gas. Now he faces a number of charges.
Ian Timmons is a firefighter and veteran. He won the raffle but has yet to collect his prize. Police say the Harley will be delivered to him soon.
“Initially, you know, I was mad that the guy stole it from a veteran on the anniversary of Memorial Day, but then I found out he might have a mental illness, so I just want to make sure he gets the right help,” Timmons said.
“I am glad it came to a peaceful resolution. We were able to get the property back, and person who did will be held accountable for their actions,” Reno said.
The Salisbury family has received the money raised by the raffle.

A New Hampshire woman was charged with child endangerment and witness tampering after her daughter ingested a THC gummy and later tested positive for cannabinoids and cocaine, according to officials.
The incident prompted a police investigation after the state Division for Children, Youth and Families notified the Nashua Police Department Nov. 3.
According to a release shared by Nashua Police Department, detectives learned the 6-year-old had been hospitalized following the ingestion and that her mother, Paige Goulet, allegedly told a witness not to cooperate with investigators.

It’s been 50 years since turkeys were reintroduced to N.H. A survey will check on the population. – The Boston Globe
In recent years, the survey has helped identify about 910 flocks on average, with about 16,488 birds reported per year.
Those numbers can fluctuate based on winter conditions. The birds are more likely to congregate at backyard feeders during winters with heavy snow and limited food, driving up reported numbers. On the other hand, when birds can easily get the food they need in the wild, reports tend to decrease, according to Daniel Ellingwood, a wildlife biologist and turkey project leader at New Hampshire Fish and Game.
He said the state has been conducting the survey for about 20 years. This year, the survey started in December and will run through March.
Right now, the turkey population in New Hampshire includes about 48,000 birds, Fish and Game estimated.
But just over 50 years ago, there weren’t any turkeys in the state at all. In fact, Ellingwood said, turkeys had been absent from New Hampshire’s landscape for about 125 years — starting in the 1850s and lasting until a successful reintroduction effort began in 1975.
Populations were diminished to the point of disappearing because of human activities like hunting and deforestation.
Then, in 1975, the state launched a successful effort to bring the turkeys back.
“A single flock from southwest New York was captured and translocated to Walpole, New Hampshire in ’75,” Ellingwood said. “That population took hold and began to expand.”
That first flock included about 25 birds. In the following years, other flocks were relocated to New Hampshire, and the turkey population began spreading to other parts of the state.
At this point, the birds have made a remarkable recovery.
“The population is largely stable and healthy,” Ellingwood said.
