According to sources regarding yesterday's bank robbery on highland Avenue, two of the bank robbery suspects allegedly robbed a bank in Dedham first then drove to Somerville and robbed the East Cambridge Savings Bank. According to sources, when they robbed the East Cambridge Savings Bank on Highland Avenue the masked duo, upon exiting the bank, had a couple of pedal bicycles waiting outside of the bank and then peddled their getaway down the street where a third person, the getaway driver was waiting in a 2009 Lincoln Towncar. The trio then allegedly proceeded to the Sunoco Gas Station on Broadway where they held up and robbed them up as well. Then the team exited the city of Somerville by driving into Charlestown where their getaway car got stuck in traffic and caused them to be apprehended after a short foot chase by two Boston Police officers who just happened to be there doing a private detail in the shopping plaza who heard the radio broadcast about the robbery that Somerville police put over the air which eventually led the three suspects to a dead end alley that was blocked off by a big old fence!
