Bedford Robbery Suspect Charged

BEDFORD, MA – A Lowell man has been charged with robberies in Bedford and Lowell earlier this year, according to the Middlesex District Attorney's office. Daniel Clark, 47, was arraigned Nov. 27 on two counts of unarmed robbery, two counts of larceny over $250 and being a habitual offender.

Clark's bail has been set at $15,000. He has also been ordered to remain under house arrest and will be held without bail pending a hearing to determine if he has violated the terms of his probation. His next scheduled hearing is Dec. 21.

Clark is accused of committing robberies in Lowell and Bedford on consecutive days in September. Lowell police were called to Rogers Street around 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 for a report of a bank robbery. The robber had allegedly worn a surgical mask and handed a note to the teller asking for cash without dyes. He fled with approximately $1,700, the DA said.

The following day, a bank robbery was reported on The Great Road in Bedford around 3:05 p.m. The teller told police the suspect wore a surgical mask and demanded $20 and $50 bills before fleeing with about $773, according to the DA.

Security cameras from nearby business in Bedford caught the Clark's alleged vehicle leaving the scene of the robbery; inside, authorities found clothing the robber was allegedly seen wearing in surveillance footage from both banks.

Clark was arrested on Sept. 20. He was indicted in Middlesex Superior Court Nov. 27.
