Heffernan will be arraigned in Brockton District Court Monday on charges of armed and masked robbery, armed assault to rob and assault with a dangerous weapon. Police say they expect additional charges.

The latest robberies happened Saturday afternoon, when police say Heffernan held up two Citizens Bank branches at Stop & Shop stores in Brockton.

There were similar robberies in Whitman on Friday and in Stoughton last month, police said.

In the Whitman theft, the woman handed the bank teller a note indicating she had a gun and demanded all the bank’s money.

Police found the stolen money in a nearby parking lot, ruined from the dye pack.
