Chestnut Hill Bank Robbery Suspect Arrested: Brookline Police

BROOKLINE, MA — Police say they've arrested the woman and another person in connection with the bank robbery at the Bank of America on Boylston Street last week in Chestnut Hill.

Police released the woman's photos early this week a few days after the robbery and they circulated widely around the internet, but police said it was the regional bank robbery task force that broke the case and Brookline detectives that were "instrumental" in assisting.

Around 2:3o p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19 a woman walked into the back door of the bank and came up to the counter, according to police. She then showed a note to an employee threatening a gun, though employees told police that no gun was actually shown. The woman then ran out the front doors of the establishment, police said. Police announced Thursday they arrested two suspects in connection with the bank robbery.
