A Manchester man and former resident of New York pleaded guilty in federal court to the February 2025 robbery of a Manchester credit union.
CONCORD, NH – A Manchester man and former resident of New York pleaded guilty in federal court to the February 2025 robbery of a Manchester credit union.
Jesse Hippolite, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery. U.S. District Judge Paul J. Barbadoro scheduled sentencing for August 4, 2025.
According to the charging documents, Hippolite was previously convicted of several counts of bank robbery in federal court in the Eastern District of New York. After his release from federal prison, he was placed on supervised release and moved to New Hampshire. On February 4, 2025, he robbed a credit union in Manchester. He was wearing a gray beanie cap, scarf, sunglasses, and gloves to conceal his identity. He passed a note to three tellers reading:
- $100,000
- ALL $100 Bills
- *No Dye Packs
- Give Back Note
Hippolite stole $3,139 from the bank. A few minutes after leaving the bank, Hippolite took off the scarf that covered his face and was caught on surveillance footage.
The charging statute provides a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the gross gain, whichever is greater. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Manchester Police Department led the investigation. The U.S. Probation Office provided valuable assistance. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen is prosecuting the case.
