The husband was running an errand at Eastern Bank and just texted me to say they were robbed and the cops apprehended the guy in the middle of Davis. Um, whoa. Anyone have more info/corroboration on that?

Well, that explains why Davis was wall-to-wall cruisers when we came through just now.

Thanks for posting. But why wouldn't you believe your husband?

Note, she didn't say the husband was hers.

Patch has the story:

http://somerville.patch.com/articles/police-fbi-arrest-alleged-bank-robber-in-davis-square

(I encoutered a bunch of people in track suits with another guy pressed up against the wall of the building at the corner of Day St., with one of them visibly counting a thick stack of cash. When I got to Eastern Bank, the door was locked; the other customers there told me it had just been robbed. I assume the fellows I saw at the corner were the guards and alleged perpetrator, along with the alleged cash. Cruisers then started arriving at a rate of about one per minute.)

Wow, we've had four bank robberies in the past 17 days here?! I had no idea.

That would explain why there was FBI presence to be had.

The FBI has jurisdiction for robbery of any federally-insured bank (which is all of them).

I know. It just explains how the FBI got there so quickly (already investigating a string of robberies in the area).

Local kid, too. Lives on Morrison Ave. Wonder if he's on LiveJournal or if anyone here knows him?

If you Google his name along with "Cambridge" or "Somerville" you'll see a whole bunch of earlier arrests for burglary, drugs, etc.

Somerville News too. I was wondering about all the cops out at the banks this weekend...
