Man Faces Felony Charge for Theft of Perfume Bottles

Crime doesn't pay, and getting caught can stink – especially when it involves the theft of 34 bottles of perfume and cologne. This is what a Portsmouth man found out earlier this month.

On May 10 Nashua Police arrested Robert Albini, 26, of 121 Osprey Drive, Portsmouth, and charged him with unauthorized taking or transfer, a class A felony, due to the value of the perfume, which exceeded $1,500.

Albini was arrested at 34D Hampshire Drive, Nashua, at approximately 7:50 a.m.

On April 4, at approximately 7:50 p.m., Nashua Police officers responded to a local business and learned that a man took 34 bottles of various perfume and cologne bottles, valued in excess of $1,500, before leaving the store. 

A class A felony is punishable by up to 15 years in the New Hampshire State Prison, exclusive of fines. Albini was released from the Nashua Police Department on $ 6,000 cash or surety bail pending his arraignment at the 9th Circuit-District Division-Nashua Court on May 29.
