New York Man Sentenced to Three Years in Federal Prison for Armed Robbery in Londonderry

CONCORD - A New York man has been sentenced to 36 months in prison and three years of supervised release for his role in a 2025 armed robbery in Londonderry, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.

Zaire Braddock, 21, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Steven J. McAuliffe yesterday. According to the court documents and statements made in court, Braddock, along with four co-conspirators, traveled together from New York to Londonderry, New Hampshire, for the purpose of robbing a local business. Upon arriving at the business, the five individuals entered the premises, where Braddock threatened the victim with a box cutter and the crew restrained the victim. Braddock and his co-conspirators then proceeded to steal merchandise and goods from the business, placing those items in a truck driven by a sixth co-conspirator. Afterwards, Braddock and his co-conspirators fled the scene in their vehicle and returned to New York.

"This individual traveled from New York to Londonderry to terrorize others with violence and threats," said U.S. Attorney Creegan. "This sentence shows that actions have consequences, and we will continue to coordinate with our federal and state law enforcement partners to quickly and decisively investigate and prosecute violent crimes and hold lawbreakers accountable."

"Anyone willing to victimize another person by brandishing a boxcutter and threatening to kill them, in broad daylight. is a clear threat to our community. The FBI is grateful to see Zaire Braddock will spend the next three years behind bars for his role in this brazen act of violence," said Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Boston Division. "No one who lives, works, or visits New Hampshire should have to fear violent criminals targeting them. That's why the FBI and our partners will continue to work in lockstep to crush violent crime in our neighborhoods and bring the perpetrators to justice."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation. The Londonderry Police Department, New Hampshire State Police, Massachusetts State Police, and New York Police Department provided valuable assistance. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Vicinanzo, Michael Shannon, and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski prosecuted the case.
