Wellesley Police on Thursday shared more details — including the names of suspects and the charges filed against them — related to the TD Bank robbery that took place just after noon on Wednesday at the Washington Street business.

Police yesterday said one suspect handed a teller a note and that no weapons were used. The update reveals that the note referenced a weapon, though none were shown.

Meanwhile, a driver suspiciously shielding his face inadvertantly grabbed the attention of a Wellesley police officer who circled back to see what the driver was up to. It turns out a witness saw two men dropped off by that same car and walking quickly. Police coralled all three of them, including one in the vehicle, in the Maugus Avenue area.

The individuals taken into custody were 23-year-old Adrian Hutchins of Lowell and 18-year-old Dawnte Richard of Milton, both of whom were charged with Armed Robbery and Conspiracy. Richard was held on $20,000 bail and Hutchins on $10,000 bail. The third party was a 17-year-old who was charged with Armed Robbery, Conspiracy and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon. He was held on $10,000 bail at juvenile detention facility.

(Separately, a Swellesley reader says Police picked up an alleged shoplifter in Wellesley Square on Thursday afternoon. She apparently had bags from Eileen Fisher and other stores.)

Wellesley, Needham and State Police joined forces to nab 3 suspects who attempted to rob TD Bank at Playhouse Square at 380 Washington Street on Wednesday shortly after noon.

According to the Wellesley Police Department, a bank employee who called in the robbery described an initial suspect as a thin male party, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a dark colored sweatshirt. Employees relayed that the male party may have fled the bank on foot. A note was shown to the teller, but no weapons were used. An undisclosed amount of money was taken.

Responding officers located two male parties on foot in the area that fit the description of the suspect, and they were detained as part of the investigation and later taken into custody. A third individual was located in a motor vehicle nearby and was also taken into custody.

The three individuals taken into custody are a 23-year-old male, an 18-year-old male and a juvenile. Identities of the suspects are not being shared initially.

TD Banks in Wellesley have been targeted by robbers in the past on holidays. There was the heartless bandit on Valentine’s Day of 2015 (380 Washington St. location) — surveillance photos were shared publicly, but a suspect was never identified. And back in 2012 the Marathon Monday robber on Patriots Day robbed the Rte. 9 TD Bank. Today is Global Running Day, so perhaps fitting that the suspects were scampering away from the scene of the alleged crime.

The Wellesley Police Department is investigating a bank robbery that took place on Saturday, Feb 14 at the TD Bank branch at 380 Washington St, Playhouse Square. No one was injured.

TD North has been the bank of choice over the years among discerning bank robbers in Wellesley, although it’s typically the Route 9 branch that takes the hits. This is the first time we know of that the Forest St. branch has been robbed.

In December 2013, the TD Route 9 branch was robbed, and a police dog was injured.

In 2012, that branch was again knocked over, this time on Marathon Day by a man nattily dressed in a white button-down shirt, khaki shorts, and boat shoes, and back in 2010 a robber with no particular fashion sense beyond the gun he accessorized with took a turn at the Route 9 TD.

And who can forget the prolific bank robber who was even given a cute nickname, the U30 Bandit, so called because his series of robberies in the area, including one at the Bank of America on Washington St. at Abbot Rd., took less than 30 seconds. We wonder if they call him the U30 Prisoner in jail — he was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
