Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald says his office has opened a criminal investigation into the conduct of Ian Kibbe and Mark Burch of the Claremont Police Department.
This investigation was initiated based on information received on March 15 from Claremont Police Chief Mark Chase. The focus of the investigation concerns allegations that while acting in their capacity as police officers, Kibbe and Burch falsified documentation related to a search that occurred in late February. Because this is an ongoing criminal investigation, no further information will be provided at this time.
