CONCORD, NH – A brazen daylight robbery at a Citizens Bank branch on Elm Street in Manchester has landed 23-year-old Alex Stoltman in federal custody. Stoltman, a resident of Manchester, was arrested Friday and charged with bank robbery, according to U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray.
The September 2, 2020, heist unfolded with chilling simplicity. Court documents detail how the robber – now identified as Stoltman – entered the bank sporting a hat and mask, an attempt at anonymity that ultimately failed. He reportedly handed a teller a threatening note, explicitly referencing a weapon and demanding compliance with his demands. The amount of money stolen has not been disclosed at this time.
Investigators from the FBI and the Manchester Police Department moved quickly. Stoltman was taken into custody on September 4, 2020, bringing a swift end to the manhunt. Sources within the investigation indicate surveillance footage and witness testimony were crucial in identifying and apprehending the suspect.
The feds aren’t playing around. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anna Krasinski and Charles Rombeau are prosecuting the case, meaning Stoltman could face serious time if convicted. He is scheduled to appear in court at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2020, to answer to the charges leveled against him.
It’s standard procedure, but worth repeating: these are just allegations at this stage. Stoltman is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The Grimy Times will be following this case closely, digging for the truth behind the robbery and the motivations of the accused.
The FBI continues to urge anyone with information related to the robbery, or any other criminal activity, to come forward. While Stoltman is in custody, the investigation remains open, and authorities are determined to ensure all those involved are brought to justice. This case serves as a stark reminder that even in a quiet city like Manchester, crime can strike, and law enforcement is always vigilant.
