SALEM, New Hampshire — Deputy Chief Joel Dolan reports that the Salem Police Department arrested an area man following two armed robberies that occurred in December.

MATTHEW ROZ, AGE 41, OF BOW was arrested on Wednesday, Jan. 15 and charged with two counts of Armed Robbery.

ROZ was held overnight at the Rockingham County Jail and will be arraigned on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 1 p.m at the Rockingham County Superior Court.

ROZ was previously arrested on Dec. 12 in Methuen, Mass. and held at the Middleton Jail in Middleton, Mass. on a fugitive from justice charge.

Through the investigation and the help of the Concord, N.H. Police Department, Salem Police were able to identify ROZ as the suspect in two robberies last month.

“We want to thank the Concord, Haverhill and Methuen Police Departments for their assistance in apprehending this armed and dangerous suspect,” Deputy Chief Dolan said.

The charges stem from two incidents that occurred in early December.

On Friday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m., Salem Police responded to Pearl’s Candy and Nuts at 356 South Broadway for a report of a robbery. Police learned during their initial investigation that a man, later determined to be ROZ, had entered the business and walked through the store before brandishing a knife and demanding money from the clerk.

ROZ left the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, and the clerk was not harmed.

A Salem Police K9 attempted to track ROZ through the heavily traveled plaza, but police were unable to locate him.

On Sunday, Dec. 9 at 8:11 p.m., Salem Police responded to Klemm’s Mobil gas station at 126 Pleasant St. for a report of a robbery. ROZ entered the business and brandished a handgun and demanded money from the clerk.

ROZ left the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash, and the clerk was not harmed.

Police searched the area but were unable to locate him.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
