Due to an uptick in theft reports from the Bear Brook State Park Snowmobile Parking Area, the Allenstown Police Department is reminding all snowmobilers and visitors to secure their vehicles and belongings while using the trails. With increased winter activity in the park, unattended vehicles can become targets for opportunistic theft. In addition, our patrol officers will be increasing patrols of the area throughout their shifts.

What visitors should do:

• Lock all trailer and vehicle doors before heading out on the trails.

• Remove valuables or store them out of sight, in a locked compartment.

• Do not leave keys in or near the vehicle.

• Report suspicious activity immediately by calling the Allenstown Police Department.

• Keep a detailed record of sensitive items left in the vehicle (serial numbers, pictures, etc..), in case a theft occurs.

We know everyone is busy during the day, but please take some time to look at your vehicle's registration. If it has expired, please take some time to visit the Town Hall and register your vehicle. Lately, we have seen an uptick in unregistered vehicles. In the last few days, we have stopped vehicles that have expired in January of 2026, December of 2025, October of 2025, April of 2025, and March of 2025.

If you receive a citation for driving an unregistered vehicle, the fine amount is $124.00, and then you still have to register your vehicle. Save yourself $124.00, and go register your vehicle before meeting one of our officers during a traffic stop.

Edit:
There seems to be some confusion on what a vehicle's registration is. A registration is your license plates, which expire on the last day of your birth month. Your vehicle's inspection is the sticker on your windshield that you receive when you get your vehicle inspected. Due to the ongoing legal battle to eliminate inspection requirements in the State, all expired or expiring inspections have been extended until April 10, 2026. Registration requirements remain unchanged.

Update on Inspection Requirements:
Orginally car inspections were extended through April 10, 2026. The New Hampshire Attorney General has updated the car inspections requirements to no longer be needed and shops can no longer issue car inspection stickers. This is a fluid situation and could change.
