The incident occurred on Friday, at about 5:33 p.m., when Epping Police began pursuing a 2017 Hyundai Elantra on Route 101 West.
The chase soon moved through other communities. Once the vehicle entered Raymond, State Police took over the pursuit.
The motorist, Finelli, drove at excessive speeds and failed to maintain a single lane. Candia and Auburn police used tire deflation devices to bring the car to a stop in a business parking lot on Hooksett Road.
Finelli was initially uncooperative but was later apprehended by state troopers. He was discovered to have an outstanding warrant from the NYPD for burglary, which was entirely extraditable.
Finelli is now being imprisoned at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections, with a court appearance scheduled for Monday, July 7, 2025.
The incident is still under investigation.
