MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - A New Hampshire man is facing armed robbery charges after police say he robbed a Manchester pizza shop with hypodermic needle on Monday.

Officers responding to a reported robbery at the Domino’s Pizza on Lowell Street about 6:44 p.m. spoke with an employee who said a white man with short dark hair who was wearing a blue shirt and a gold-colored chain robbed the business with an uncapped needle, according to the Manchester police department.

Police say the suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash from Domino’s.

About 15 minutes later, police located a subject at Victory Park matching the description of the suspect, later identified as Steven Howard, 32, of Manchester.

Howard was arrested and charged with armed robbery as well as an unrelated arrest warrant, according to police.

He is scheduled to appear in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on Tuesday.
