Nashua police Lieutenant Craig Allard said in January, a Hooksett businessman said someone stole checks from the mailbox of his Hooksett home.

"Three checks were then altered and cashed," Allard said in a statement. "One of the checks was cashed at TD Bank in Nashua."

Allard said on April 21, Nkem was tracked to Millbury, Massachusetts and arrested by Massachusetts State Police. He was transported to Nashua Wednesday to face the forgery charge, Allard said.
