NEW IPSWICH, NH – Eric Lord, 54, of Greenville, is facing federal charges after allegedly robbing the TD Bank branch in New Ipswich on April 2, 2025. The brazen act wasn’t his first at that same location – Lord was already on federal supervised release for robbing the same TD Bank branch back in 2014. The feds are now hitting him with another indictment, and this time, he could be looking at serious time.
Acting U.S. Attorney Jay McCormack announced the indictment on August 6, 2025, a single count of bank robbery. Lord is currently cooling his heels in state custody on unspecified related charges, a temporary reprieve before he’s hauled into federal court on a date yet to be determined. Sources inside the New Ipswich Police Department tell Grimy Times the robbery was quick and dirty – a note passed to the teller, cash exchanged, and Lord vanished before officers arrived.
Court records show this isn’t a case of a first-time offender making a desperate mistake. Lord was already under the watchful eye of federal authorities when he allegedly committed this latest crime, a clear violation of his supervised release terms. This adds a layer of frustration for investigators and prosecutors, who now have to prove not only the robbery but also Lord’s disregard for the law while theoretically under its protection.
If convicted, Lord faces a maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars. On top of that, he’s looking at up to three years of supervised release after serving his time, and a hefty fine – up to $250,000 or twice the amount of money he stole, whichever is higher. However, the ultimate sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge, factoring in U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other relevant statutes.
The investigation was a joint effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the New Ipswich Police Department, a pairing that highlights the increasing cooperation between federal and local law enforcement in tackling repeat offenders. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen is leading the prosecution, tasked with building a solid case against Lord and securing a conviction.
It’s crucial to remember that the details contained in the indictment are merely allegations at this point. Eric Lord is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. But for the residents of New Ipswich, and the employees of that TD Bank branch, this indictment offers a glimmer of hope that a repeat criminal will finally be held accountable for his actions. Grimy Times will continue to follow this case as it unfolds.
