A man from Martha’s Vineyard is accused of zip-tying individuals and placing a "purported bomb" on the counter during an armed bank robbery in April.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that Petar Petyoshin, 40, is charged with one count of armed robbery. He’d previously been arrested on related state charges in May.
Charging documents say Petyoshin entered the Rockland Trust Bank in Falmouth just before 9 a.m. on April 8, 2023. Wearing a blonde wing, Petyoshin placed an alleged bomb on the teller counter and brandished a firearm, the charging documents say.
