Stoneham police are currently searching for a suspect who robbed a Citizen’s Bank and who they believe may be responsible for similar incidents in nearby towns.
On Oct. 24, at approximately 10:30 a.m., police received a report that a man entered the Stop & Shop at 259 Main St. and passed a note demanding money to the teller at the Citizen’s Bank counter. No weapon was shown. The suspect then fled on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.
The teller described the man as in his late 20s or early 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, with tan skin and wearing a dark knit cap,
big sunglasses, a black coat, blue jeans and sneakers.
Stoneham Police are consulting with the Chelmsford Police Department regarding an incident in which a man, fitting nearly the
same description, carried out the same style of robbery several days later, passing a note the teller at the Citizen’s Bank at the
299 Chelmsford St. Stop & Shop. A third incident occurred in Reading as well.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Stoneham Police at 781-438-1215 or Chelmsford Police at 978-256-2521.
