A man suspected of robbing nine banks is expected to face charges in court today or Thursday after his arrest at his home in Jamaica Plain.
Angel Robles is scheduled to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court. The 33-year-old was arrested at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday at his Bournedale Road home after extensive surveillance by Boston police and the FBI.
Robles has only been charged with one robbery, which occurred on Jan. 4 at a Bank of America on Brookline Avenue in Roxbury.
Investigators suspect that he is responsible for at least eight other bank robberies from November to January. The robberies include banks in Watertown, Brighton, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, and Brookline.
