Falmouth Man Arrested, Federally Charged in Two Boston Bank Robberies

The case remains open with agents pursuing other suspects captured on bank cameras.

Overview

  • Steven Harris, 34, was arrested Sunday outside a Weymouth sober home and now faces federal counts of bank robbery by intimidation and aiding and abetting.
  • Investigators say two daytime holdups on April 28 targeted a Santander branch in Roxbury and a TD Bank in Roslindale, with about $3,000 taken from the TD teller drawer and no injuries reported.
  • The FBI says surveillance tied Harris to both scenes using a Facebook photo of the same Champion hoodie, a phone present near the banks, and a black skull cap recovered at arrest.
  • Police report the crew fled in a blue Toyota RAV4 with Massachusetts plate 4MXN78 that was traced through its owner and a borrower who said she lent it to Harris.
  • Harris pleaded not guilty in federal court and is being held pending a detention hearing, while investigators continue to search for the other people seen on video.
