DOVER - A Somersworth man was arrested on Tuesday in connection with a Dover burglary earlier in the day.

Justin Collier, 28, who was identified as a suspect soon after police visited the Kent Avenue home where it occurred, was already in police custody as a result of his arrest by Somersworth Police on a separate warrant just hours earlier.

Evidence gathered by Somersworth Police linked Collier to the burglary in Dover. Dover Police arrested him at the Strafford County House of Correction where he was being held.

Collier refused the services of a bail commissioner and will be arraigned today in Strafford County Superior Court.

Dover Police Lt. Brant Dolleman said items stolen included cash and electronics, some of which have been recovered.

Burglary is a Class B felony punishable by up to seven years in state prison.
