Woman Indicted on Burglary, Theft-Related Charges

A Merrimack woman who was arrested on multiple burglary- and theft-related charges in Merrimack last year, was indicted in April on similar charges stemming from an October burglary in Nashua.

Tiah Charles, 22, whose last known address was 63 Shelburne Road, Merrimack, was indicted on a count of criminal liability to burglary and a count of criminal liability to theft by unauthorized taking.

Court documents say that on Oct. 19, Charles acted as a lookout for accomplice Thaddeus Bell, while he allegedly burglarized a Nashua home and then drove him from the scene after he allegedly stole a firearm from the home.

Charles was arrested two other times in 2012 on burglary-related charges in Merrimack, in January for her alleged role as a lookout for Richard Rowell who was allegedly still inside a Beacon Drive home when police arrived to investigate suspicious activity and in February on three counts of receiving stolen property in a coordinated effort with Nashua and Milford police departments.

Both felony charges are punishable by 3 ½ to 7 years in prison and up to $4,000 in fines.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, but rather a grand jury's finding that there is enough evidence to move forward toward a trial.
