On December 13, at about 1:50 p.m., a male entered the Freihofer’s bakery outlet store on Lower Main Street, went to the cash register, displayed a handgun to the clerk and demanded the money in the register. The clerk gave him an undisclosed amount of cash and the man fled on foot.

Following an investigation by the Gorham Police Department, working with other area law enforcement, the man was identified as Errol Gethers, 56. Police considered him armed and dangerous and asked anyone with any information to contact the Gorham Police Department.

Gorham Police Department obtained an arrest warrant for Gethers on a robbery charge on December 17 and he was arrested on December 31 in Biddeford by US Marshals and the Maine Violent Offender Task Force.

Gethers is being held at Cumberland County Jail on charges of armed robbery and violating conditions of release. Det. Sgt. Dan Young of the Gorham Police Department noted “it was a job well done by patrol units and the detectives involved.”
