MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Manchester police said they arrested 49 year old James Coldwell just before midnight on Saturday.

Investigators said surveillance images showed Coldwell tried to disguise himself as a tree during a robbery attempt. Police said Coldwell used tape to put branches on his body in an effort to hide his identity.

The robbery happened at a Citizens Bank on Elm Street around 9 a.m., when the bank first opened. The suspect demanded cash from a teller and walked out. Witnesses said it happened very fast.

No one was hurt in the incident and no weapon was shown.

A police K-9 unit was brought in to search the area, but the suspect was not located until around 11:30 Saturday night at his home on Lowell Street in Manchester.

Officials said an anonymous tip from a Newsnine viewer who saw the surveillance photos on television helped lead them to Coldwell.
