Bedford Man Accused of Bank Robberies Expected Back in NH Tuesday

Bedford resident Joel Gordon was arraigned on bank robbery charges earlier today in Lawrence District Court and is being held in Middleton, Mass. without bail. He'll likely be back in New Hampshire tomorrow to face charges in connection with two bank robberies in Manchester earlier this month.

According to Essex County District Attorney spokeswoman Carrie Kimball-Monahan, New Hampshire Sheriff's Department officers plan to pick up Gordon on Tuesday so he can face charges in the Granite State.

Judge Michael Brooks heard the case Monday in Lawrence and ordered Gordon to stay at the Middleton House of Corrections until he is extradited back to New Hampshire.

Gordon was early Saturday morning after police received word that he was staying at the Andover Inn. Police said they were able to apprehend Gordon without incident.

New Hampshire police initially sought Gordon for allegedly on South Main Street in Manchester, N.H. on June 11, according to WMUR. Then last week, Manchester police said Gordon was also wanted for on South Willow Street in Manchester this past Wednesday morning.
