Authorities say the ATM was recovered and traced back to a breaking and entering that happened just a day before in Wayland. The suspect’s car in that crime is said to be the same one that drove off Thursday in the Braintree incident.
Therefore, police are still looking for the other suspect who drove off in the vehicle, which is described as a dark colored Honda CRV with Connecticut plates. Anyone with information is asked to call Braintree Police.
