Three branches of Citizens Bank have been robbed in the last day, including a location in Medford Square where a man wearing a Yankees hat fired a handgun just before closing Thursday night, police said. This morning, two separate Citizens Banks were robbed in Brighton as the branches opened for the day.

Police are searching for three different suspects. It was not immediately clear whether the robberies were related.

No one was hurt in the Medford heist, according to Gail Marcinkiewicz, a spokeswoman for the Boston office of the FBI. A white male who was 5 feet 7 inches tall walked into the bank on Riverside Avenue and demanded money. He had the Yankees hat pulled low on his forehead and was wearing Rawlings brand batting gloves.

This morning, a dark-skinned black male robbed the Citizens Bank at 35 Washington St. at 9 a.m., according to Boston Police. The suspect was 5 feet 8 inches tall and was in his late 20s or early 30s. He was clean shaven and wearing a gray sweatshirt. It was not immediately clear whether he showed a weapon.

Minutes later, a Hispanic male wearing a greenish tan Red Sox hat robbed the Citizens Bank at 414 Washington St. The robber was 5 feet 3 inches tall and was in his 20s, police said. He did not show a weapon.
