Providence man held in Cranston bank robbery

CRANSTON -- A Providence man has been accused of robbing the Domestic Bank at 815 Reservoir Ave. this morning.

Alberto J. Reyes, 28, of 26 Benedict St. was being held pending arraignment on the first-degree robbery charge.

A police news release said a male went into the bank branch at about 8:45 a.m., showed a silver gun to the teller and demanded money. After getting an undetermined amount of money, the male left the bank and headed north through the surrounding residential area.

A bank employee followed the male through the neigborhood and told police in what direction he was heading. Shortly after, Cranston officer Shane O'Donnell located the suspect hiding in the neighborhood.
