Bow police say they foiled vehicle theft in progress

A vehicle theft in Bow was foiled on Wednesday after police said they caught a suspect in the act and made an arrest.

At 12:29 p.m., the Bow Police Department responded to a report of a theft in progress at a residence on Carriage Road. Officers received a call about an unauthorized individual on the property.

When they arrived, they said Dylan Beaudet, 32, of Chichester, was attempting to steal a vehicle parked inside the garage. 

Beaudet was loading the vehicle onto a trailer, according to Bow police.

He was later taken into custody and charged with criminal trespass and attempted theft by unauthorized taking of more than $1,500.

Beaudet is being held at the Merrimack County House of Corrections pending his arraignment at Merrimack County Superior Court.

“The quick response of our officers prevented the loss of property and ensured the safety of the neighborhood,” said Ken Miller, Bow police chief, in a statement.

The investigation remains ongoing. Bow police are asking residents in the Carriage Road area who may have witnessed suspicious activity or have home surveillance footage to contact them.

This is not Beaudet’s first run-in with law enforcement. In April 2025, Beaudet was arrested after State Police said he led local officers and state troopers on a vehicle chase through Loudon, Chichester and Pittsfield.
