Well, this is a bizarre story.  Around 1pm on Monday, a man with a distinct limp robbed the East Boston Savings Bank in Andrew Square.  Later on, the man with a limp claimed he was the victim of a robbery by a “group of people” in an apartment on Old Colony Ave.  The victim, who walked with a distinct limp, told BPD he didn’t need medical treatment but wanted a ride to Logan Airport instead. Police put two and two together and realized the “victim” was in fact the suspect from the early bank robbery.

At about 1:08 PM on Monday, June 3, 2019, officers assigned to District C-6 (South Boston) responded to a radio call for a bank robbery in the area of 501 Southampton Street (East Boston Savings Bank) in South Boston. On arrival, officers were informed by the victim who stated an unknown male suspect with a distinct limp had entered the bank and handed her a note demanding cash and that he was also in possession of a bomb. The victim stated she handed over the money which the suspect took before fleeing the bank in an unknown direction. Officers searched the area for the suspect to no avail.
