Stoneham Police have arrested a Saugus man in connection with two bank robberies last month.

On Nov. 5, Stoneham Police responded to the Eastern Bank at 163 Main St. for a report of a robbery. Witnesses reported that a white male suspect had entered the bank, passed a note to one of the tellers and fled with an undetermined amount of money.

Police were able to use the bank’s surveillance footage to capture an image of the suspect and submitted the robbery note to the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory to be processed for fingerprint and DNA evidence.

On Nov. 16, the South Shore Savings Bank, located at 138 Franklin St. in Quincy was also robbed. The Quincy Police Department reported that the suspect had the same physical description as the man involved in the Eastern Bank robbery.

Surveillance photos from the South Shore Savings Bank indicated that the suspect was the same person who robbed the Eastern Bank in Stoneham.

Investigators also compared the surveillance photos with a booking photo from a man who was arrested by the Saugus Police Department in 2010. They determined the suspect to be 38-year-old John Truglia, and secured a warrant for his arrest.

Stoneham detectives arrested Truglia on Friday, and he is currently being held at the Stoneham Police Department pending his arraignment at Woburn District Court on Monday.

Additional charges may follow from the Quincy Police Department.
