A man has been arrested in connection with a jewelry store theft in Manchester, NH.
On July 12, around 4 p.m., Manchester Police responded to a panic alarm at Market Square Jewelers.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with a store employee who said that a man had entered the shop expressing interest in purchasing a ring.
While being assisted, the man allegedly left the store with one of the rings without paying.
Officers reviewed surveillance footage and soon located a man, later identified as 62-year-old Edward Meiggs of Manchester, matching the description nearby.
While being detained, Meiggs attempted to conceal a ring under his foot.
Officers recovered the ring, which was confirmed to be the one taken from the store.

Meiggs will be arraigned on Monday in Manchester District Court.
