Claremont
Acting in part on tips from the public and an investigation that included reviewing video surveillance footage from a nearby location, police arrested Debra Pitts, 31, of Claremont, and Jennifer Tozzi, 34, at a Claremont residence at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Tozzi also had a warrant out for her arrest in connection an incident out of Grafton County, police said. Her hometown was not indicated in the release.
Pitts faces a robbery charge and Tozzi has been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. The charges filed against both are Class A felony-level offenses, the release said.
Pitts and Tozzi remain in custody and scheduled to be arraigned on Monday in Claremont District Court.
An earlier police news release said an order from Domino’s was being delivered to an apartment on Trinity Street when the delivery driver was attacked as he arrived at the apartment.
The driver was stabbed several times and a small amount of money was taken. A neighbor who heard the attack intervened and threatened to call the police, at which point the two suspects fled on foot in the direction of Franklin Street.
Pitts lives on Trinity Street, though Police Chief Mark Chase declined to say whether she had initiated the call to Dominos.
“This has all the signs that it’s more than likely drug-related,” Chase before the arrests were made. “We’re definitely looking at that angle. It’s just what everybody in the state is dealing with.”
Staff at the Claremont Dominos on Saturday morning acknowledged that the driver was recovering from his injuries, but referred questions to a manager, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
