NASHUA, NH — Police believe a gas station robbery in November 2019 in Nashua was orchestrated by an employee and a former employee, according to police. Around 10 p.m. on Nov. 28, 2019, officers were sent to the Speedway on Amherst Street for a report of a robbery. At the time, Sabrina Bolton, 29, of Hanover Street in Nashua, was the only employee on duty, according to Lt. Daniel Mederos of the Nashua Police Department.
