2nd Mass. man arrested in the theft of high-end vehicles in Exeter
A second person has been arrested in connection to the theft of high-end vehicles from Foss Motors in Exeter last year, according to local police.
Exeter police were notified on Tuesday that police in Brockton, Mass., arrested Nelshon Luis Pires, 19, of Brockton on an arrest warrant from Exeter. He was charged with a felony count of theft and is being held pending extradition back to New Hampshire, according to a news release.
The arrest comes months after another man, Alberto Marbert, 33, of Tewksbury, Mass., was also arrested on thefts from the local dealership in February.
The investigation started on May 31, 2024, after the dealership was hit for a second time.
Pires was charged in connection with the theft of a white 2024 Dodge Durango SRT 392 and a gray 2021 Dodge Durango SRT in February 2024. Each SUV was valued at $50,000.
Marbert was charged in connection with the theft of a white 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody and a red 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, which were taken from the lot at Foss Motors on Feb. 17, 2024. The vehicles were valued at more than $76,000 and later recovered in Boston.
Chief Stephan Poulin applauded the department's Criminal Investigative Division and specifically Detective John Suglia's efforts in the investigation, which have led to the two arrests.
'His ability to parse out evidence and to work closely with outside agencies such as our State and Federal partners has been critical to success. We also recognize and appreciate all of the efforts of the Brockton Police Department with this recent arrest,' he said in a statement.
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information can call the Exeter Police Department at 603-772-1212. Anonymous tips can also be made to Seacoast Crime Stoppers by calling 603-431-1199 or online at
