Teen Faces Robbery Charge In Concord, Gun Theft In Brentwood: Reports

CONCORD, NH — A Deerfield teen faces charges in two communities connected to incidents involving handguns.

On Oct. 9, 2021, around 2:30 a.m., Concord police were sent to Rollins Park for a report of a robbery. Three teenagers claimed to be robbed at gunpoint by another.

One victim, 18 at the time, said he went to the park to pick up his girlfriend and give her a ride home. A boy was with her, too. All three got into a car and were approached by another teen, 16, who the first victim knew. They were chatting, and the teen asked to enter the car. When he did, shortly thereafter, three men wearing masks and hoodies approached the car.

One pulled a gun to the victim’s face and demanded everything he had. At the same time, the victim said the 16-year-old he knew was “waving his gun around,” and the other two men also had weapons.

“Give me all your sh-t, or I’m going to pop this,” the assailant was accused of saying.

The assailants took personal items from the victims and fled. About $72 in cash was obtained during the robbery, as well as a Concord High School cheerleading ring valued at between $500 and $1,000, electronic device charges, a sling bag with vape items, a cell phone, and a bank card that had $7 on it the report said.

The reporting officer spoke the girl who said she was visiting her sister before the robbery and asked the first victim to pick her up at the park. She and the other person reiterated the same points the first victim made.

In a later interview, a detective spoke to the first victim, who said he knew the 16-year-old from Concord High School. He was in the area to pick up his girlfriend and also buy vapes from another person who was friends with one of the other victims. The 16-year-old asked the victim if he and his friends could vape with them, and the victim “reluctantly said, ‘Sure,’” and the next thing he knew, a gun was in the side of his head after the others had crept up behind him.

One of the other assailants, the victim said, knew one of the other victims. He overheard him saying, “Is that (a name)?” and then put a gun in the boy’s face and said, “Give me all your sh-t.”

The first victim, after the incident, believed the other boy, who was also a victim, may have set the entire thing up or been involved, and blocked him from social media and his phone, the report said.

Other Interviews

The 16-year-old and his father were interviewed by police on Oct. 25, 2021.

The teen said he and others were at the Concord High School football game and met up with a 15-year-old and Anthony Christopher Debrosky, now 19, of Ridge Road in Deerfield.

They all hung out and then went walking around downtown until around midnight.

They all went back to Debrosky’s apartment, and the boy asked if he could stay at his place, and he said, “No,” the report stated. Later, they all decided to go to Rollins Park and hang out.

While there, the teen said he went to urinate and Debrosky and others “disappeared,” the report said. The boy thought maybe they ditched them, so he went looking for them. He then saw the car pull up in the parking lot and thought Debrosky and another person were in the car, so he approached it. The teen then realized it was a person he knew from school, asked for a cigarette, and then “saw a gun over his shoulder” and “put his hands up and said, ‘I want no part of this,’” an affidavit said. The boy backed away and then ran from the area.

The detective, however, was not buying it.

“(He then) provided a convoluted story about running from the park all the way to downtown Concord,” the detective wrote. “From there, he found his way to the railroad tracks, where he walked until he found a homeless camp. He went on to say that he contacted some homeless people and eventually slept at their camp.”

When asked where the camp was, he said Concord and later said it was Bow. His father “chimed in” and stated he picked the boy up at the Irving gas station off South Main Street in Bow.

After some back and forth about the camp location, size of the camp, the kind of tent he slept in, and other issues, and then recounting his version of events while “pointing out several discrepancies in his story,” the detective informed the teen he possessed a video of him after the robbery, with another teen, at the Storrs Street Garage, the report said. After being asked to tell the truth about what happened — and whether he had met with anyone later after the robbery, the boy said he would never rob anyone and had a nice job at a restaurant in Manchester.

The father also said his son had denied meeting up with Debrosky and another person after the robbery, the report stated.

After more discussion, including the detective saying he knew one of the assailants knew one of the victims, the 16-year-old said it was “his job” to go up to the car window and say, “What’s up, can I get a smoke?,” before the robbery, the affidavit said. He said the victim known in the car told him there was a marijuana sale happening, not just vapes, and someone else was going to bring it. The teen said he did not know if the guns involved in the robbery were real but believed they were owned by Debrosky, the report said.

“(He) then also said that this was Anthony’s robbery, and he came up with the idea to rob (the first victim),” the report said.

The detective also learned the victim, who was known, “got all of his belongings back,” the report stated. The girl, however, had nothing to do with the robbery, the report said.

The teen also denied waving around a gun during the incident. When asked if the first story he told was something all the assailants discussed beforehand, “he agreed” and shook his head in the affirmative, the affidavit said.

On Nov. 8, 2021, the victim, who was known to the assailants, met with the detective along with his mother.

The teen said he lied to his mom to get out of the house and met the first victim at the park to play some basketball when “some kid” approached the car. He assumed it was someone the first victim knew, the boy said. He then described the robbery, being dropped off later at the house of a person he met on Snapchat “that he could not recall,” and then they hung out for a while.

When asked about the vapes, he said he could not get them for the first victim.

The detective told the teen he knew he was not telling the truth, that he knew he was part of the robbery, and knew it was not random, and the teen looked “surprised.” While he was explaining he was unsure what the detective was speaking about, the detective asked his mother if she knew what was going on, an affidavit said. She said it sounded like “we need a lawyer,” the detective wrote.

After speaking more about the case with both the boy and his mother and giving them the chance to leave, the teen began sharing more information, including there only being “one real gun at the crime scene.” The other was a BB gun, the report said.

When asked about admitting what really happened, the mother told her son he had the chance to stop talking and leave. But the boy told the detective he was initially going to the park to fight the first victim because he was “a terrible person” — something he told Debrosky. He called Debrosky a “cocky kid that runs around with a Smith & Wesson” and said the robbery was “a stupid decision that he completely (regretted),” the affidavit said.

The teen said Debrosky’s gun had “all kinds of inappropriate stickers” on it — anime girls without clothes on and would be “easy to identify,” the report said. The gun, he said, was a 9 mm and had about eight bullets in the magazine, the affidavit said.

The detective attempted to meet with Debrosky at the Epping Police Department in December 2021. He said he was staying with a friend and did not have the means to drive to Concord, the report said. However, days before the meeting, the detective accused Debrosky of not answering his phone or returning calls to confirm the meeting.

A warrant for his arrest was issued on Jan. 31.

Stolen Handgun Case

On March 19, police in Brentwood took a report about a stolen handgun from a business on Commercial Drive.

The complainant said the suspect, Debrosky, had left some belongings at his building and requested permission to pick up the items. He agreed, but he never showed up, the report said.

The next day, the person realized Debrosky had come to the shop overnight to pick up his items. It was at this time the man realized his Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .38 had been missing from an unlocked toolbox.

While interviewing the shop owner, another man showed up and told the officer Debrosky had to have come into the building at a specific time but did not see him, the report said.

Security footage was eyed, and the officer accused Debrosky and a woman of entering another building unit and leaving with a backpack, bicycle, and a box.

The officer spoke to another person in the building about Debrosky. The man said he knew him because he previously dated one of his relatives, the report said. He also had security footage the officer eyed, which showed Debrosky and the woman arriving, an affidavit stated. No other people were seen on the surveillance footage. Video footage also showed a 2021 red Nissan Frontier registered to an address shared by Debrosky and another person, the report said.

The detective later learned Debrosky had access to a security keypad at the building and accused him of gaining access with it, the report said.

The officer checked Debrosky’s file and found “many criminal contacts and arrests with various agencies,” including “juvenile arrests” which are sealed in New Hampshire, the robbery warrant out of Concord, an electronic bench warrant out of Candia District Court, and at least one prior felony theft by deception, $1,501+, conviction in Deerfield in April 2021.

A warrant was issued against him on May 19.

Debrosky also failed to appear at the robbery arraignment in Merrimack County Superior Court on May 19. He appeared two days later and was released on $300 cash bail.

Debrosky has a dispositional conference hearing on the theft by unauthorized taking, firearm stolen, charge in Rockingham County Superior Court on June 21. He is due back in court on the robbery charge on Aug. 4.
