On Monday September 26, 2022 Officer Keith Pires responded to Citizens Bank located at 501 Rodman St.
in response to a reported bank robbery.

 Upon arrival, a bank employee explained to Officer Pires that an
unknown white male, wearing a face covering approached her teller window and demanded money from
her cash drawer. The employee complied with his demands and the male fled the area on foot.

Detective Luis Vertentes of the Major Crimes Division was assigned as the lead investigator in this case.
During his investigation,

 Det. Vertentes shared photographs of the robbery suspect within the department
in hopes of identifying him. Members of the Gang Unit advised Det. Vertentes that the suspect resembled
an individual suspected of multiple bank robberies in and around the City of Boston.

 Officer Eric Pacheco
of the Special Operations Division, identified key characteristics which resembled a male with whom he
had spoken while working a detail. Officer Pacheco recalled that this male told him that Ben Affleck made
a movie (The Town) in which the main character was based on him. He also told Officer Pacheco that he
had been on an episode of Caught in Providence with Judge Caprio. Officer Pacheco was able to research
previous episodes of Caught in Providence and identify the suspect. Officer Pacheco relayed this
information to Det. Vertentes, to include the suspect’s name.

On Tuesday October 4, 2022 Det. Vertentes was able to alert his Law Enforcement partners that he had
credible information to suggest that the suspect was in route to the City of Boston.
Later that afternoon, 59-year-old William Sequeira, of Providence, RI was arrested in Boston, by members
of the FBI Boston’s Violent Crimes Task Force for an attempted unarmed robbery. Sequiera will also be
facing criminal charges stemming from his involvement in the September 26th robbery of Citizens Bank in
Fall River.
