Police Investigating Braintree Cooperative Bank Robbery

Braintree police say that the culprit of a robbery Monday afternoon at Braintree Cooperative Bank may be connected to two other bank robberies in the area.

A white male in his 40s entered the bank at 1010 Washington St. at about 2:25 p.m. Monday, passed a note demanding money and claimed he had a weapon, Chief Russell Jenkins said in a statement.

The man then fled out the back door with an unspecified amount of money. No one was hurt during the robbery.

Bank employees said the man resembled a man wanted in bank robberies in recent Needham and Stoughton, Jenkins said.
