The string of robberies began on February 23 at the Bank of America on Fall River Avenue in Seekonk.
The bandit hit a Citizens Bank on Park Avenue in Cranston on April 16,
the Bank of America on Bald Hill Road in Warwick on May 7, and the Bank of America on Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence on June 27.
