On September 20, at approximately 3:06 p.m., Bedford Police responded to a report of a bank robbery that had occurred on The Great Road in Bedford. Bedford Police spoke to a teller who stated that she had been passed a note by a suspect wearing a surgical mask demanding $20 and $50 bills. The suspect left with approximately $773.

Video surveillance provided with the cooperation of Bedford businesses in the area of the robbery enabled authorities to allegedly identify a vehicle registered to the defendant leaving the scene of the Bedford robbery. The clothing allegedly worn by the defendant in surveillance footage from both banks was allegedly located in the defendant’s vehicle.  The defendant was arrested at approximately 11:26 p.m. on September 20 in Lowell in connection with an open warrant for an unrelated offense.

Over the course of a joint investigation conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Lowell Police and Bedford Police the defendant was allegedly identified as the man responsible for both robberies. The defendant was arraigned in Concord District Court on November 7, 2017, and subsequently indicted and arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court on November 27, 2017

These charges are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The prosecutor assigned to this case is Assistant District Attorney Clarence Brown.
