SALEM, N.H. (AP) – Police say that a man and woman charged in an armed robbery spree in New Hampshire Massachusetts are romantically linked.

Louis Jones, 30, of Salem, and Heather Denuccio, 28, of Methuen, Mass., were arrested Sunday. They are suspected in up to a dozen holdups at gas stations and convenience stores. At least $2,200 was stolen and one store clerk in Lawrence, Mass., was stabbed.

According to court papers, Jones and Denuccio were teenage sweethearts who had recently renewed their relationship. The couple had been living together at the home of an acquaintance, police said.
