Arrest leads to felony drug charge
On June 7, 2018 at approximately 8PM a vehicle was stopped on US Route 3 and Campton Police arrested a 36 year old female passenger on a Campton PD warrant for fraudulent use of a credit card.
During the arrest she was found to be in possession of a quantity of methamphetamine. She was additionally charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and indirect criminal contempt of court.

At approximately 2:20 am, Monday, June 4, the Campton Police Department responded to a private residence on Owl Street for a reported home invasion. According to the homeowner, a single male was found by the resident standing in her living room. The suspect, later determined to be a juvenile runaway from a nearby residential facility was chased from the home by the residents and police were called. During the search for the suspect, he entered a nearby garage of a neighbor to the original victim, acquired keys and attempted to leave the area in the neighbors SUV. The responding officer observed the vehicle operating slowly without lights on and upon confirming that the owner was not in the vehicle, attempted to stop the SUV.
The suspect refused to stop when the officer signaled him to do so and both Campton PD and State Police pursued the vehicle until the SUV lost control in the New Hampton/Meredith area on I-93. The 17 year old was not believed to be seriously injured and was taken into custody at the scene. The juvenile is incarcerated at Sununu Youth Detention Center and is to be arraigned in Juvenile Court.
Multiple counts of delinquency including burglary, theft, and trespass have been filed against the suspect in Juvenile Court, as the investigation continues by the Campton Police Department.
