New York man admits to role in 23 Lowe’s, Home Depot thefts in New Hampshire, Mass., RI, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey

CONCORD – A New York man pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Concord to transporting stolen goods across state lines, U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announced.

According to the New Hampshire Department of Justice, 32-year-old Jalil McIntyre pleaded guilty to Transportation of Stolen Goods. U.S. District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro scheduled sentencing for November 6, 2023.

McIntyre and his co-defendant, Deshun Jackson, traveled to Lowe’s and Home Depots across the northeastern United States, including New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. They stole high-value commercial items, such as circuit breakers. They were seen on surveillance footage grabbing products off shelves, placing them into large plastic bags, and walking out of the stores. In total, they stole $195,604.76 worth of products across 23 separate thefts. They also attempted to steal another $46,619.07 worth of products during 11 additional unsuccessful thefts. The stolen products were brought back to New York, where both McIntyre and Jackson lived.

Jackson is currently in state custody in New York and will be transported by law enforcement to New Hampshire.

The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison, 3 years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation. Assistance was provided by the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office, the Rockingham County Attorney’s Office, the Rochester Police Department, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office in New York, Seabrook Police Department, Nashua Police Department, Windham Police Department, and Derry Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen is prosecuting the case.
