State Police, FBI Seeking Suspect in Burlington Bank Robbery

Massachusetts State Police troopers assigned to the FBI Bank Robbery/Violent Crimes Task Force have obtained an arrest warrant charging JAVON PERRY, 29, with the January armed robbery of a Burlington bank.

JAVON PERRY (a.k.a. JAVON GREER) is wanted for his role in the robbery of the Central Bank located at 85 Wilmington Rd. in Burlington at approximately 9:35 a.m. on Jan. 5, 2011. The warrant charging PERRY with armed robbery and using intimidation to steal from a depository was issued out of Woburn District Court. PERRY stole more than $2,000 from the bank.

State troopers and FBI agents are investigating PERRY's possible link to a series of six bank robberies. The robberies, which may have been committed by multiple suspects acting together, occurred at banks in Lynnfield, Reading, Westford, Salem and Malden. Among those crimes was the Dec. 16 robbery in Malden in which a different suspect became trapped between two doors in a front vestibule and fired several shots before escaping. That suspect, Anthony Hamilton, was arrested earlier this year on federal charges.

PERRY is a black male who is 5'10" tall with a medium build. Photos of PERRY, including one taken from a bank surveillance camera, accompany this release.

A reward is being offered for information leading to the suspect's arrest. Anyone with information regarding the robberies is asked to call the Massachusetts State Police at 508-820-2121.
