Homeless Felon Arrested On Burglary, Theft, And Mischief Charges After Multi-Week Investigation

CONCORD, NH — A homeless felon, out of jail after being convicted on reckless conduct-deadly weapon and stolen vehicle charges in Hooksett two years ago, has been arrested on burglary and other charges.

Vincent Segura, 38, was arrested on Nov. 8 on felony burglary, theft, and criminal mischief charges.

According to police and court documents, on June 10, a detective was assigned to investigate a burglary at the Suds Appeal laundromat at 47 Washington St. in the West End. The laundromat manager said three days earlier, two men burglarized the building’s office. They also noticed damage to a key lock and a sink handle. Some items were stolen from the business, they said. The manager also stated there was video from the incident and reported two men burglarizing the business.

The detective reviewed the video footage and saw an older model GMC SUV pull up to the business around 10 p.m. on June 7. Two men exited the SUV while a woman stayed in the passenger seat. The two men were seen in the video burglarizing the business, the report stated. The men, one young and the other older and bald, paced around the business, “constantly walking around,” looking at soap dispensers and the machines.

“I recognized the (older, bald man) to be Richard Kuchinsky,” 55, a career criminal, who was arrested Sept. 22. “I know Richard from prior interactions, and I also know Richard is frequently arrested for theft-related crimes.”

According to the report, the pair was then seen at the office door, with Kuchinsky appearing to try numerous keys to open it. After a few minutes, they accessed the office, the detective said. When they exited the office, they were seen carrying boxes of dryer sheets, the report said.

On July 10, the detective began circulating screenshots of the suspects and officers immediately identified Kuchinsky.

Two days later, another officer saw Kuchinsky “going through a dumpster” at 6 Loudon Road. He had warrants out of Hooksett, dispatch said, which they were checking. The detective met with the officer and questioned Kuchinsky about the Suds Appeal incident. Kuchinsky, the detective wrote, confirmed he was there. He was accused of saying Segura “had a key to the office, which was how he got in.” When asked how they met, Kuchinsky said at the county jail.

“I asked Richard if he knew the younger male’s name and Richard stated he did not know his name,” the detective wrote, “he just knew he was a ‘big Mexican’ with tattoos on his head and face.”

Kuchinsky later told the detective after Segura entered the office, “he wanted nothing to do with it,” the affidavit said. When told there was video of him picking the lock and in the office, Kuchinsky “then changed his story,” and placed the blame on Segura for giving him the keys.

The detective contacted the Merrimack County Jail, and a supervisor lieutenant identified Kuchinsky and later identified the younger man as Segura, an affidavit said. The lieutenant also confirmed Kuchinsky and Segura were both in jail between April and December 2024.

Segura was questioned on Aug. 26 while he was charging his cellphone in the lobby of the Concord Police Department, the detective said. When asked about the Suds Appeal incident, “Vincent thought hard and stated he did not recall,” the report said. When asked if he had been in a laundromat two or three months ago, Segura thought again and said he had, the affidavit said.

Segura confirmed he was with his friend “Richard,” whom he met in jail, but was “unsure” of his last name. When told Kuchinsky blamed him for the burglary, Segura countered Kuchinsky had “shouldered” in the door to the office, the detective wrote. Segura then confirmed they stole laundry products, the affidavit said.

Segura said he used the sink to wash his shoes and hands, but did not recall it breaking, the report said.

A warrant was issued for his arrest on Oct. 27. Segura was arrested and held on preventive detention. On Nov. 10, he was arraigned in Concord District Court. The case was boundover to Merrimack County Superior Court on Nov. 19. Segura has a dispositional conference on Feb. 5, 2026.

Segura is no stranger to the police.

Back in April 2023, he was arrested in Manchester on a felony drug possession charge. He was released on $2,500 bond but failed to appear in court at arraignment a month later.

After a warrant was issued, Segura was picked up in October 2023 after being arrested in Hooksett on felony reckless conduct-deadly weapon and receiving stolen property-$1,501-plus charges, as well as conduct after an accident and disobeying an officer.

Segura was released on $2,000 cash bail and indicted on the felony charges in November 2023.

In December 2023, Segura pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor obtain-buy fake drug charge and received a 120-day sentence and a $434 fine, suspended for two years.

Segura pleaded guilty to the Hooksett felonies and other charges in May 2024. He received a 12-month sentence, a one-to-two-year sentence suspended for five years, and two 12-month sentences, each suspended for five years. Segura was also ordered to pay $24,520 in restitution to Dent Wizard, a car restoration company.

In March 2024, Segura was arrested by Bedford police on a warrant and a breach-of-bail charge. At the time, he was living in Manchester.

New Hampshire State Police arrested Segura in Bow on a driving after revocation charge in April. He also gave a Manchester address to the trooper. Segura was arrested on a warrant in Concord in June. In August, he was arrested for receiving stolen property (less than $1,000) and theft by unauthorized taking (less than $1,000) after an incident at Burger King on Hall Street.

According to Hooksett police, Segura was a resident of Denver, Colorado, when he was arrested on a bench warrant there in January.
