Alleged Northway Bank Robber Turns Himself In: Report

LONDONDERRY, NH — A local man turned himself into police after multiple tips fingered him as a bank robbery suspect from earlier this week, according to police. Aaron Pelchat, 35, of Goffstown, was arrested on May 24, 2017, and charged with felony robbery. The Northway Bank on Cilley Road in Manchester was reportedly robbed at around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, by an unarmed man.

The suspect allegedly made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Manchester Police circulated screenshots from security footage inside of the bank within an hour of the robbery and received “multiple tips about the identity of the bank robber,” noted Lt. Brian O’Keefe of the Manchester Police Department.

“They followed up on the tips and ultimately completed an arrest warrant (robbery) for Pelchat, who was arrested by the Londonderry Police Department and transported to Manchester Police Headquarters at approximately 10:05 p.m. last night,” O’Keefe noted.

Pelchat is scheduled to be arraigned in Manchester District Court today.
