Second Man Arrested In N.H. Robbery Police Say Was Staged

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Police in Concord, N.H., have arrested a second man in connection with what they say was a staged robbery at a Radio Shack store.

Authorities say 21-year-old Andrew Wolfram of Concord turned himself in to police on Monday after warrants were issued for his arrest. Wolfram is being arraigned Tuesday on theft, conspiracy, and other charges.

Police said last week that store employee Joshua Thomas told officers that he was robbed at gunpoint while working on Jan. 31 and that the robber fled with a lot of money. But police believed Thomas falsely reported the crime and conspired with another man to rob the store. Thomas was arrested Friday.
