CAPTURED: Bank robbery suspects in custody

Special to The Advocate

On Tuesday at around 4:30 p.m., Everett Police responded to the Eastern Bank located at Broadway and Ferry Street for an armed robbery. Within a short time, Everett Police arrested Jody Claudio, 49, and Christian Campagna, 22, both of Medford.

One of the suspects allegedly entered the bank, passed a note and showed a firearm. The suspects then fled on foot, and they were stopped by Everett Police Officers on Gledhill Avenue. The suspects were placed in custody and transported to the station for booking. Officers recovered a firearm, a machete, clothing that matched the robbery suspects and U.S. Currency stolen from Eastern Bank.

It does not appear that these suspects from the Everett Bank robbery had any connection to the two Boston bank robberies that occurred early on Tuesday morning. The suspects are to be arraigned in Malden District Court. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
