Manchester, NH — A man arrested for an armed robbery at a South Main Street Walgreens earlier this month is now facing additional charges for a nearly identical robbery at the same location two weeks prior.
Manchester Police say 44-year-old Seth Skillin, of Manchester, was taken into custody following a July 9 armed robbery at the Walgreens located at 227 South Main Street. During the course of their investigation, detectives connected Skillin to a similar robbery at the same store that occurred on June 27.
In both incidents, the suspect reportedly entered the store, approached the counter, displayed a knife, and demanded cash. He then fled the scene on foot. Surveillance footage showed that Skillin changed his clothing immediately following the robberies, and discarded clothing recovered nearby helped confirm his identity.
Skillin has a prior robbery conviction from 2003 in Hillsborough County Superior Court. He now faces additional charges of Robbery and Felon in Possession of a Deadly Weapon.
He remains in custody at Valley Street Jail and was booked in absentia on the new charges.
