CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A Manchester, New Hampshire, man has pleaded guilty to robbing six convenience stores in seven weeks earlier this year.
The U.S. attorney’s office says 36-year-old Guillermo Garcia Esquivel pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday. He was accused of using what appeared to be a black handgun to commit the six armed robberies in Manchester between Jan. 5 and Feb. 24, stealing in excess of $5,000.
The case was part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a federally-funded program intended to reduce gun violence.
Esquivel is scheduled to be sentenced March 12.
