DOVER, N.H. - A Milton woman has been indicted on three counts of fraud for allegedly trying to procure gift card credit for items stolen from the Rochester Walmart.

Nicole Perry, 20, of 139 Felker Drive, is charged with three counts of organized retail crime enterprise in connection with the case, which was allegedly carried out with the help of another person who actually stole the merchandise.

Perry faces a maximum of 21 years in prison if convicted on all three counts.

Court documents show that on March 14, March 23 and March 26 a co-conspirator of Perry's concealed and exited Walmart with various stolen items.

Perry allegedly later returned to the store to exchange the items for gift card credit.

Charges against the other individual were bound over to Strafford County Superior Court for possible indictment but they were dismissed in September.

Perry now awaits her arraignment in Superior Court.

The Strafford County grand jury indictments were handed down Nov. 19 and released on Tuesday.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, only that enough evidence has been gathered to warrant a trial.
