Bank robber's spree said to include Newton, Westborough, and Stoughton

By Meg Woolhouse, Globe Staff

Newton police suspect a man who robbed a bank in the Nonantum neighborhood yesterday may be responsible for two other bank robberies, in Westborough and Stoughton, earlier this month.

The Village Bank was robbed shortly before 3 p.m. when a man police described at 6-foot tall, clean-shaven, and wearing a Red Sox baseball cap, passed a note to a teller demanding money and said he had a gun. Police said the suspect then fled with cash.

Police said they think the same man robbed Citizens Bank branches in Westborough on Aug. 5 and in Stoughton on Aug. 6.
