UPDATED: Suspect in Middlesex Savings Bank Robbery Taken into Police Custody

A suspect connected to several bank robberies in the area, most recently , has been taken into custody by federal agents in Fayetteville, N.C., police said.

According to Foxborough Police Chief Edward O'Leary, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), arrested David W. Tarbox III, 26, and formerly a Whitman resident, on a bus in North Carolina. Tarbox was a suspect for bank robberies in Medfield, Foxborough, Sandwhich and Somerset and is being charged for robbing at least four banks, including Medfield's Middlesex Savings on March 4. 

The FBI has been working with Foxborough detectives on the case for over the past two weeks and had been working with Medfield detectives since the March 4 robbery. 

According to O'Leary, the suspect was in North Carolina trying to flee.

"The suspect cut his hair short and cut his facial hair as he was trying to flee," said O'Leary.

According to Medfield police, a white male fitting Tarbox's description, entered Middlesex Savings Bank by the front door at 12:01 p.m. on March 4 and passed a note to one of the tellers explaining his demand. 

The suspect did not use a weapon or threaten the use of a weapon during the robbery. He left the bank by the rear door after receiving an undetermined amount of cash and no vehicle was observed as the suspect fled the area in an unknown direction.

Medfield Chief of Police Robert Meaney Jr. said the March 4 bank robbery was the first since he's been in Medfield and that there have only been two others in the past "10 to 15 years."

Tarbox will most likely be arraigned in North Carolina. The Massachusetts District Attorney's office will coordinate his arraignment in Massachusetts.
