Packers fan holds up South Boston bank

By adamg on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 5:13pm

Boston Police tweet the Sovereign Bank branch at 474 W. Broadway was held up this afternoon by a 20-year-old white man, slim, 5'4" and wearing a Green Bay hat.

The bank was also held up in June. The Eastern Bank branch at 470 W. Broadway has been held up so often tellers are beginning to get a bit tired of it all.

Now that's what I call a suburbanite.

Adam, you should start tagging C6 in the map to show how ridiculous this really is. Also, if you have a chance can you get a comment why a bank 3-4 blocks from a police station is getting robbed once a month and what C6's plans are?

This is approaching Keystone Kops levels of herp derp by Southies finest.

buy an ESP machine? Blaming the cops for junkie robbers is lame.

This is main street Southie, 4 blocks from a well staffed precinct station that has 5-6 cruisers parked out front.

You don't see something wrong with that?

maybe the banks should hire an armed security guard, the robberies are happening inside, not on the street.

This is ridiculous. West Broadway banks are like The Town playing out in real-life, except no one is as good-looking.
