11/18/2022
Officials released a photo of one of the masked Martha’s Vineyard bank robbers Thursday night, noting that all three suspects were wearing this same mask.
“Three unknown individuals rushed into the bank as employees entered to open the bank for business. These subjects were masked, gloved and armed with handguns,” the Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office said in the accompanying release.
As of Friday morning, no arrests had been announced in the robbery at the Rockland Trust bank in Vineyard Haven on Thursday morning. An active police scene at a Falmouth Holiday Inn Thursday related to the investigation was also cleared that afternoon with no suspects in custody.
“The District Attorney and [Tisbury Police Chief Chris Habekost] want to stress that Island residents should remain vigilant, however, they should not be overly alarmed,” the DA’s office said. “This was a targeted crime and there is no additional information that should cause undue fear.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Tisbury police at 508-696-4240 or Trooper Dustin Shaw at 508-693-0545.
