CONSPICUOUS GETAWAY: After a bank in Manchester, N.H., was robbed of $24,000, witnesses gave a good description of the getaway car: a marked cruiser from the Manchester Police Department, which sped away from the robbery with its lights flashing and siren blaring. Suspicion quickly focused on Gary Sahlin, 26, an ex-officer who reportedly was having financial problems. Sahlin pleaded not guilty to the charge, but after his girlfriend told detectives he had told her the duffel bag full of cash he showed her that day was "insurance proceeds", Sahlin told them the robbery was his girlfriend's idea.
