FBI Joins Hunt for Suspects in Linked Boston Bank Robberies

The case now draws a multi-agency push that often speeds arrests in armed robberies.

Overview

  • Two Boston branches were robbed at gunpoint Tuesday morning, first a Santander in Roxbury around 10:11 a.m. and then a TD Bank in Roslindale at 11:56 a.m., with police linking the heists.
  • Detectives say the same crew fled both scenes in a blue Toyota RAV4 with Massachusetts plate 4MXN78.
  • Boston police say the suspects remain at large as of Wednesday, and the FBI’s violent-crimes task force is assisting the search.
  • Investigators released surveillance images and detailed clothing descriptions, and they urged caution because a gun was shown during the robberies.
  • A separate Eastern Bank robbery in Everett later Tuesday led to two arrests and the recovery of a gun and a machete, and police say that case is not connected to the Boston heists.
