Earlier today, a man was arrested after allegedly breaking into a Bank of America branch in Boston, sparking a significant police response. According to a report by NBC Boston, officers were dispatched to the bank located at 175 Federal St. at approximately 1:41 a.m. following reports of a break-in.
Upon arrival, Boston police were greeted by the sight of a smashed window on the building. A heavy police presence subsequently surrounded the area. Found barricading himself inside a bank closet, the suspect was arrested after a window was shattered.
