An Alamo man was arrested by Lafayette and Walnut Creek police on Thursday afternoon after police investigators allegedly linked him to a series of bank robberies that occurred throughout Contra Costa County this month.
With assistance provided by the Danville Police Department and Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, police arrested 41-year-old Brendan Gray at his home in Alamo on Thursday at approximately 3:35 p.m. on suspicion of robbing at least three banks.
According to sheriff’s spokesperson Jimmy Lee, Gray is believed to be involved in a bank robbery that occurred at a Wells Fargo Bank in Walnut Creek on Feb. 1, as well as one at a Wells Fargo Bank on Moraga Way in Orinda on Feb. 12, and most recently at the Wells Fargo Bank on the 3600 block of Mt. Diablo Boulevard in Lafayette on Feb. 19.
Lee added that police investigators were able to identify a suspect vehicle and identify Gray as the suspect in the robberies.
Gray was taken into custody without incident, booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on three counts of first-degree robbery and is being held in lieu of $300,000 bail.
