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.
