The man dubbed the “Route 128 Bandit” was apprehended last month and yesterday charged with bank robbery.

According to court documents, between July 31 and Oct. 6, nine banks were robbed in the Greater Boston area, and in all of the robberies, the perpetrator was described as a 30- to 45-year-old light-skinned black or Hispanic man wearing a baseball hat, sunglasses and a long-sleeved, collarless shirt. Based on the descriptive similarities at each bank, law enforcement suspected that the same individual was involved in each robbery.

An investigation into the robber’s getaway vehicle led law enforcement to identify Paul B. Landrum as the suspect, and he was arrested in Boston on Oct. 24. It is alleged that after being advised of his rights, Landrum admitted to robbing a branch of Bank of America in Bedford on Oct. 6, and that he robbed the eight other banks in question since July 31.

Landrum faces a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell on Friday, Nov. 3, at 10:15 a.m.
