Woodstock Early Bird has learned that those who lost property from their cars as a result of a vehicle break-in and theft spree in Woodstock earlier this summer have been informed the primary suspect in the case was a no-show in court.
According to a letter sent by the State of Vermont Windsor County State’s Attorney’s Office to victims of the thefts, a warrant has now been issued for Richard Hurd’s arrest. The letter was dated September 13, 2011 and signed by Victims’ Advocate Meghan Place.
It reads:
Re: State v. Richard Hurd Docket No: 1067-9-11
Dear X,
I wanted to let you know that the above referenced defendant failed to appear at the arraignment and an arrest warrant has been issued. I will be in touch when the status of this case changes.
Sincerely,
Meghan L. Place
Victims’ Advocate
(Please refer to earlier Woodstock Early Bird posts for references to this crime spree)

Can we get a picture posted so we can be on the lookout?

This young man is going through a very hard time as his father is apparently dying. We trust local law enforcement can handle this. Of course, if someone does know where he is and the circumstances, obviously they should contact Woodstock Police so the case can be handled through regular legal channels.
