Nashua Man Arrested On Robbery Twice In One Week In Manchester

MANCHESTER, NH — A man from Nashua was arrested twice in Manchester on robbery charges.

Matthew Dozibrin, 51, of Nashua, was arrested on Thursday at Walmart on an unarmed robbery charge, according to Heather Hamel, a public information officer for Manchester police. During a theft incident, he was accused of fighting with a detail officer at the store.

Around 8 p.m. on Saturday, police had another run-in with Dozibrin at Home Depot on March Avenue.

An asset protection specialist told police a man entered the store, went to the tool section, grabbed a pair of wire cutters, and headed to the employee breakroom, she said.

“While in the breakroom, the man began clipping tags off of items he had been concealing under his coat,” Hamel said. “An employee told him he wasn’t allowed in the breakroom and he left the store.”

Outside, the asset protection specialist approached the man, who was later identified as Dozibrin, and asked him to return the wire clippers.

“The man then shoved the clippers at the employee’s chest and ran,” Hamel said.

Police located Dozibrin in a parked vehicle on South Willow Street. He was accused of attempting to run from officers as well as physically resisting arrest before being contained, she said. Under his coat were items concealed from Burlington Coat Factory on South Willow Street, Hamel said.

Dozibrin was charged with robbery, theft by unauthorized taking, resisting arrest, and breach of bail.
