Concord Man Pleads Guilty to Bank Robbery in New Hampshire
A Concord man has pleaded guilty to bank robbery in a federal court in New Hampshire, according to the United States Attorney, Emily Gray Rice.
Leeland Eisenberg, 45, of Concord, pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of bank robbery for his role in a brazen daylight robbery at the Citizen’s Bank located at 875 Elm Street in Manchester, New Hampshire, on August 2, 2016, at approximately noon.
According to court filings and statements made at the change of plea hearing, the robber walked into the bank, approached the teller station, and handed a teller a robbery note that stated “No alarms. No dye packs. I have a gun and I will shoot you and others if you put a dye pack in. Fill the bag with cash now.” The note was handed to the teller by a lone white male with dark hair, eyeglasses, and wearing a blue jacket.
A witness in the vicinity of the bank identified the robber as Eisenberg. The witness had known Eisenberg in the past and recognized Eisenberg as he left the bank. An image of the robber taken by the bank’s security system was distributed to law enforcement. Law enforcement officers familiar with Eisenberg also identified the robber as Eisenberg after reviewing the images.
Eisenberg was arrested by two Manchester officers in the area of the Pine Street Cemetery in the evening of the same day. At the time of his arrest, he had ten bags of what appeared to be crack cocaine on his person. Subsequent laboratory testing of the material in the bags established it was powder cocaine.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for June 9, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. The case was investigated by the Manchester Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Donald Feith.
