HOLLIS — Crediting “an exhaustive investigation” by several Hollis officers, with the assistance of police in Nashua and Brookline, police have taken two young men into custody in connection with last week’s break-in and theft from the Dunkin’ Donuts on Main Street.

Arrested were Samuel Stickney, 22, of Nashua, and Robert Christie, 23, of Milford, according to Capt. Brendan LaFlamme.

Police had distributed images from security cameras via news media and social media, along with what information they had at the time, on Feb. 20, shortly after they were called to the shop for a report of an overnight burglary.

Stickney is charged with one felony count of burglary, and two Class A misdemeanors, theft and criminal mischief.

Christie faces one count of criminal liability for the conduct of another, a Class B felony.

LaFlamme said the charge accuses Christie of acting as an accomplice in the commission of the alleged crime.

The charges against Stickney indicate that he is accused of “entering the establishment through a window and stealing cash in various denominations from the office,” according to the initial police statement.

Both suspects were booked on the charges and later released on bail pending arraignment. Christie’s arraignment is scheduled for March 17; no information was available on Stickney’s arraignment status.

“These arrests are a result of an exhaustive investigation involving several Hollis officers (and) multiple search warrants … and ended with the issuance of arrest warrants for both individuals,” LaFlamme said.

“Officers worked tirelessly in collaboration with each other, resulting in this favorable outcome. Hollis police would also like to thank the Nashua and Brookline police departments for their assistance in this investigation.”
