A 33-year-old Plaistow, N.H., man faces charges of being a convicted felon in possession of a dangerous weapon after police said they conducted searches at two locations and seized “several dozen firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, firearms accessories and other dangerous weapons.”
Plaistow Police Chief John J. Santoro said in a release Tuesday the seizure on Oct. 24 provided evidence needed to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Jonathan Balamotis. Balamotis was arrested and charged with 11 counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and bail jumping. He is being held at the Rockingham County Jail in Brentwood pending a probable cause hearing. The chief said searches took place at homes at 37 Crane Crossing Road and 29A Pollard Road in Plaistow.
