3 charged with robbing courier of $436K outside Swansea bank

SWANSEA, Mass. (WPRI) — Three Massachusetts men were arrested Wednesday in connection with an armed robbery outside a Swansea bank.

Federal court documents obtained by 12 News show Steven Madison, Christopher White and Quentin McDonald were taken into custody after investigators executed search warrants at each of their homes.

 

Prosecutors allege Madison and White committed the robbery, while McDonald acted as the getaway driver.

 

A courier was zip-tied, pepper-sprayed and robbed of more than $436,000 in cash at the BayCoast Bank on Swansea Mall Drive on the afternoon of Feb. 19, according to police. Since the bank was closed for Presidents’ Day, the courier was trying to use the drop-box outside when he was approached by the masked suspects.
