Tip Leads to Arrest in Nashua Robbery Case

Nashua Police have arrested a man who was allegedly involved in the recent robbery of an elderly woman on Congress Street.

According to police, an anonymous tip came in to police after investigators alerted the public about the robbery on Aug. 20, on Congress Street, and a person of interest in the case, including video surveillance footage of a man who was allegedly in the area at the time of the robbery.

The man, Bradley Bernard (pictured, left), 35, of Derry Street in Hudson, was later arrested and charged with attempt to commit theft, a felony, receiving stolen property, and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card.

“Bernard’s charges are as a result of him using the victim’s credit card and attempting to use her debit card to withdraw in excess of $1,500,” alleged Lt. Denis Linehan of the criminal investigation division of the Nashua Police Department. “Bernard was able to purchase merchandise at two gas/convenience stores in the city.”

Bernard was released on $3,000 cash/surety bail and is due in Nashua District Court on Sept. 30, for arraignment.

Second suspect still at-large

According to police, a second suspect has also been identified as allegedly responsible for the actual robbery.

That man, Jerald “JJ” Leith (pictured, right), 26, of Nashua, is wanted for felony robbery and is still at-large.

Police are asking anyone with information about Leith to contact investigators at 603-594-3500.
