Milford Man Pleads Guilty to Bank Robbery
CONCORD, NH - October 26, 2015 - Seamus Murphy, 33, of Milford, New Hampshire, entered a guilty plea to one count of bank robbery announced Acting United States Attorney Donald Feith.
Murphy walked into a Citizens Bank in Stratham, New Hampshire, on February 24, 2015 and gave the teller a note demanding money. The teller gave Murphy a quantity of United States currency.

We will continue to work with our state and local partners to vigorously prosecute these dangerous crimes.”
