Woman Charged With Armed Robbery After Stadium Plaza Incident

TEWKSBURY, MA – A woman has been charged after allegedly robbing a person at knife point while they were sitting in their car last week.

On Friday just after 11 a.m., Tewksbury police responded to Stadium Plaza for a report of an armed robbery.

The victim reported they had been robbed at knife point while they were sitting in their car and told police a woman ran away from the scene afterwards, according to a news release from the police department.

Officers searched the area and reviewed surveillance footage from local businesses to track down a woman who matched the victim's description of the suspect, who was found in the parking lot of a nearby Motel 6, police said.

Nicole Ellison, 40, was arrested and charged with armed robbery. She was released on $500 cash bail and is due in Lowell District Court on Monday.
