Stolen AR-15 Found in Lyndon Apartment with Fugitive

3/21/2025

Police say the assault-style rifle they found in a Lyndon apartment last week near a man wanted as a fugitive from Massachusetts was stolen from a Bethlehem, N.H. man. Xavion Martin, 23, of Springfield, Mass., is now facing an additional charge of possession of stolen property that has a value over $900. He was already accused of illegal possession of the AR-15 when police entered the Dune Way residence on March 14 and reportedly found him and Andrew Young, 37, there. Both men were wanted on arrest warrants, and Lyndonville Police learned they were at Dune Way and obtained a search warrant to go in and get them.  Young was found hiding under a pile of clothes in a closet, and Martin reportedly initially lied about his identity. They were both placed in custody. Two loaded firearms were found in a bedroom. In addition to the AR-15 there was a revolver.Both men appeared for court hearings later that same day, and both waived extradition. They were ordered held at the Northeast Correctional Complex in St. Johnsbury while waiting for authorities from neighboring states to pick them them up.
