PORTLAND, Maine — City police on Tuesday said about six bank robberies that have been reported since May have been solved.
The most recent robbery occurred last Friday, and suspects allegedly involved in all six cases are in custody, Chief Michael Sauschuck announced Tuesday.
Portland police worked with the community, the FBI and nearby agencies in solving all six cases. A bank robbery conviction carries a prison sentence of up to 30 years in Maine.
“Portland continues to be a safe city with a low crime rate,” Sauschuck said. “The success we have had is due to partnerships with the media, community members and law enforcement partners.”
