UPDATED: Quincy Man Arrested for Robbing Wellesley TD Bank

A suspect in the Wellesley TD Bank North robbery was arrested Thursday.

UPDATE: The suspect, Brian Kalil, had secreted and barricaded himself in the eves of the attic and refused to come out. Kalil’s refusal to surrender for several hours caused significant disruption to the Quincy neighborhood. After several other methods were used to attempt to get him to surrender, a canine was introduced to assist in extracting him from the eves.

He was taken into custody at approximately 10:45 p.m. and removed from the residence. Per agency protocol, he was transported to the Quincy Medical Center for evaluation. Once he was released from the hospital, he was brought to Wellesley Police Department where he was processed and held on $100,000 bail. He will be arraigned at Dedham District Court today, Friday, Dec. 20.

This arrest came the same day the Needham TD Bank was robbed in much the same manner. However, police do not suspect him to be the same bank robber.
