Ed. Note: New update on Thursday's car-jacking in Bellows Falls and North Walpole armed robbery. This is all we have so far; maybe the FBI will give us more info in tomorrow. CCB 2-26-10 FBI Captures Suspected Bellows Falls Car-Jacker, North Walpole Armed Robber By Chuck Bingaman The Boston Office of the FBI announced Friday evening that it had arrested Anthony Gilbert of Alabama and charged him with holding up 5 Star Beverages in North Walpole around 7:30 Thursday evening shortly after car-jacking a Bellows Falls couple and driving it across the New Arch bridge connecting the two communities. The FBI also suspects Gilbert of robbing 18 banks in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire since late October of last year. After holding up 5 Star Beverages owner Gilbert Goodell, suspect Gilbert apparently left his stolen car in the store parking lot and disappeared on foot. No one was injured in the car-jacking or the robbery. “He was only here a minute or so,” according to Goodell. “He got away with a couple of hundred dollars. He had a semi-automatic pistol like an Uzi or something under his coat.” Goodell has owned 5 Star Beverages for 16 years and said that this is the first time he has been robbed. Walpole Police, Bellows Falls Police, Cheshire County Sheriff’s Office and New Hampshire State Police searched for the robber during the night. Early Friday the FBI took control the case because, according to FBI Special Agent and media spokesperson Gail Marcinkiewicz, it handles all car-jackings. As of 5:00 p.m. Friday, Marcinkiewicz had said that the FBI was releasing very few details on the investigation so as not to jeopardize it. If citizens have information that might be helpful to the investigation, Marcinkiewicz said they should call the FBI in Boston at 617-742-5533. Marcinkiewicz said then that “we are very much aggressively working the case. If there were information that we feel would be helpful to this case, we would release it to the public. If there is a public safety issue, we would make that known to the public.” --30--
