BOSTON, Mass.- A West Yarmouth man has been charged alongside a second suspect in connection with two armed bank robberies in Greater Boston last month in which prosecutors allege a firearm was brandished and employees were threatened.
According to federal charging documents filed Friday, May 22, 2026, Angel Gonzalez, 25, was charged by criminal complaint with armed bank robbery. He is currently in state custody on unrelated charges and is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court in Boston at a later date. Steven Harris was charged earlier this month by criminal complaint with armed bank robbery and remains in federal custody.
The case is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts.
Prosecutors said the two suspects are accused of participating in robberies on April 28, 2026, at a Santander Bank branch in Roxbury and a TD Bank branch in Roslindale.
In the first robbery, at the Santander Bank in Roxbury, prosecutors allege Gonzalez brandished a firearm, dragged a bank employee from her office to the teller area, and threatened to shoot her while holding her at gunpoint.
Surveillance images included in the charging documents show the defendants during the alleged robberies, with the victim’s face redacted.
In the second robbery, at the TD Bank branch in Roslindale, Gonzalez allegedly entered the bank armed with a firearm, placing his index finger inside the trigger guard. Harris allegedly moved multiple employees from offices into a central area of the bank while Gonzalez held employees at gunpoint and threatened to shoot them if they did not comply with instructions. Prosecutors allege Gonzalez took approximately $3,000 from a teller drawer before both suspects fled in a getaway vehicle.
Gonzalez is charged with armed bank robbery, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 25 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing would be determined by a federal district court judge under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
