Vermont bank robbery suspect arrested after chase in NH – NBC Boston

A man wanted in connection with a bank robbery in Vermont was arrested in New Hampshire on Monday after a 20-mile chase with police.

Shortly after 4 p.m. on Monday, New Hampshire State Police began pursuing a vehicle on Interstate 93. The vehicle, a blue 2013 BMW 550i, had been reported stolen in Nashua on Sunday, and the driver was believed to be a suspect in a bank robbery at the Passumpsic Bank in Newport, Vermont, that occurred the previous Monday. During the robbery, the suspect threatened and said he had a gun.

State police troopers later spotted the BMW traveling south on I-93, and after the driver failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated in Lincoln. The pursuit eventually ended in Campton, just north of the Plymouth city limits, where troopers were able to stop the vehicle.

The driver, identified by police as 38-year-old Barry A. English Jr. of Nashua, was taken into custody and southbound lanes were briefly closed. No details were released about the charges against him or his possible court date.

The case remains under investigation by State Police in conjunction with Nashua and Newport, Vermont police. Anyone with information that could assist in the investigation is asked to contact State Police Sergeant Stefan Czyzowski at 603-223-4381.
