CONWAY — The fireworks for New Year's Eve are on for North Conway Village after all.

Madison home target of armed robbery No arrests, but police believe ‘numerous’ people were involved in town’s second armed robbery in a month BY DAYMOND STEER THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

MADISON — Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at a home early Thursday morning. The robbery occurred at 1:54 a.m., according to State Police Det. Sgt. Justin

Rowe, who withheld the location of the home out of concern for the safety of the victim. Rowe said "numerous" suspects entered the home to commit the robbery.

Everyone was bundled in layers of clothes topped by
