Second Cape Cod Man Charged in Boston Daytime Bank Robberies

Prosecutors say evidence recovered after a crash and phone records tie the suspect to two April 28 heists and keep investigators pursuing additional people seen on surveillance.

Overview

  • The two daytime robberies took place April 28 at a Santander branch in Roxbury and a TD Bank in Roslindale, and investigators say the suspects fled in a blue Toyota RAV4 with Massachusetts plate 4MXN78.
  • Federal prosecutors charged 25-year-old Angel Gonzalez after he was taken into custody following a crash near Springfield and agents found cash and a blue Nike sweatshirt in the vehicle that matched surveillance imagery.
  • The FBI says Gonzalez is accused of brandishing a gun in both robberies and of dragging a Santander employee to a teller window while threatening to shoot.
  • Steven Harris of Falmouth was arrested by the FBI on May 3 and earlier charged in the case, with phone records and surveillance footage linking him to Gonzalez and to the RAV4 seen near the scenes.
  • The FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force and Boston police are continuing the multi‑agency probe, seeking other people seen on camera while prosecutors prepare federal court proceedings where a conviction could carry up to about 25 years in prison.
