Braintree Bank Robbery Suspects Arrested in Brockton

BRAINTREE, MA - Two people are in custody after a pursuit from Braintree to Brockton, police said.

At about 1:15 p.m. Monday afternoon, a robbery at the Bank of America on Tremont Street in Braintree was reported. Police say the male suspect fled on foot and displayed a handgun inside the bank.

The suspect's vehicle, a black Toyota Camry operated by another man, was seen on Route 3 in Braintree before it was located on Interstate 93 South near Route 28. A state trooper activated his lights, but the car refused to stop and continued to drive down Route 23 South at a high rate of speed, police said.

Despite driving across a tire deflation device north of the Route 139 exit, the vehicle continued to go down the highway, exiting at Exit 19 on Central Street in Stoughton. The Camry turned onto Turnpike Street at a high rate of speed, with police stopping the pursuit due to traffic in the area.

The vehicle was located near Oak Street and Oak Ridge Drive in Brockton. The vehicle came to a halt near 14 Cherry St. Both passengers in the vehicle fled on foot, with the driver immediately taken into custody. The passenger was located a few minutes later hiding in a dumpster near West Ashland Street.
