Chris Lamb Indicted for Title Fraud and Other Charges

Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella and Department of Employment Security Commissioner Richard J. Lavers announce that the Carroll County Grand Jury has returned indictments against Chris M. Lamb, age 51, related to title fraud. The indictments charge Lamb with three class B felonies, Title Fraud and Forgery (two counts).

The title fraud indictment alleges that on or about May 18, 2020, Mr. Lamb solicited and aided another in making a false statement in an application for a certificate of title for a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban when Lamb provided a purchaser with false documents and told her to represent that she purchased the vehicle from another person when in fact she purchased it from Lamb. According to the forgery indictments Mr. Lamb uttered to the purchaser a false bill of sale and a Pennsylvania certificate of title containing a false re-assignment of title for the vehicle.

Lamb is scheduled to be arraigned on May 13, 2026, in Carroll County Superior Court. Each Class B felony offense is punishable by up to 3 ½ to 7 years in state prison, a fine, or both.

The investigation was conducted by the Department of Employment Security's Benefit Payment Control Unit, with assistance by New Hampshire State Police Troop G and New Hampshire Department of Justice Investigators. The New Hampshire Department of Employment Security provides unemployment benefits to eligible individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own and investigates allegations of fraud to protect New Hampshire's unemployment trust fund.
