Woman who allegedly stole from Lowe’s 5 times among those indicted

LACONIA — A Belmont woman who allegedly repeatedly stole power tools from a local home improvement store has been indicted on felony charges.

Morgan Fontaine-Wilmot, 25, of Union Road, in Belmont, was indicted on seven counts of theft by unauthorized taking.

Fontaine-Wilmot was among a number of people — most Lakes Region residents — who were indicted by the latest session of the Belknap County grand jury.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt. Rather, it is a finding that enough evidence of a possible crime exists to warrant bringing a case to trial.

Of the seven theft charges against Fontaine-Wilmot, five allege the theft of Dewalt Combo Kits from Lowe’s in Gilford. The battery-operated, cordless tools were allegedly taken on five occasions within a 20-day period this past August.

Other indictments allege Fontaine-Wilmot stole footwear from Bootleggers in Laconia, and a person’s purse. In addition, she was indicted on a charge of theft by deception for allegedly taking more than $1,500 from another person’s bank account; a charge of identity fraud for posing as the holder of that bank account; a charge of forgery when she allegedly presented a check that was drawn on the account of the person whose purse she allegedly stole; and a charge of falsifying evidence for hiding items in a purse she had stolen.
