A Gloucester man pleaded guilty last week in federal court in Boston to bank robbery.

Michael Robinson, 40, pleaded guilty to one count of bank robbery.

Robinson entered the Institution for Savings Bank branch in Gloucester on Nov. 19, 2018, walked up to the teller counter, passed a handwritten note to the teller and stole $2,650. Within minutes of the robbery, local police responded to the bank.

They reviewed bank surveillance footage and recognized Robinson as the robber. Police also matched bank surveillance footage of Robinson to a recent Facebook photograph Robinson posted the previous weekend. In that Facebook photo, Robinson was wearing the same clothing he wore when he robbed the bank. The investigation also revealed possible locations where Robinson might be and, only a few hours after the robbery, he was located on a bus in another city and arrested.

Sentencing is scheduled for for Sept. 24, 2019.
