'Holliston Bandits' Caught: FBI
The pair are accused of holding up a Holliston TD Bank while wearing skull and baby face masks last fall.

HOLLISTON, MA – A pair of accused armed robbers known as the "Holliston Bandits" have been caught, according to the FBI. The man and woman allegedly held up the Holliston TD Bank on Oct. 24 wearing attention-grabbing disguises: the woman in dark clothes and a black skull mask and the man in gray with a baby face mask.
The FBI identified the suspects as Oliver Walsh and Patricia Desena. They have been charged with armed bank robbery while masked and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
The TD Bank on Washington Street in Holliston was robbed around 1:40 p.m. on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 24. The pair fled on foot out the back of the bank, prompting a lockdown of Adams Middle School, Miller Elementary School and the Placintino School that was lifted about an hour later.
