Pair arrested for alleged role in NH, Mass. bank robberies

CONCORD, N.H. (MyFoxBoston.com) – The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested two people wanted for their alleged involvement in multiple bank robberies that occurred in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Ryan Patrick Lane, 35, and Amy Cole, 38, were taken into custody at a hotel on West Elm Street in Brockton Wednesday. Both Lane and Cole were being sought on outstanding warrants.

When authorities arrived at the hotel, police said Lane and Cole refused to open the door, and the door had to be forced open by authorities. Once inside, the pair was arrested without any further incident.

Lane was arrested on a warrant issued out of Hampton, N.H., for a bank robbery that occurred on April 4, 2013 at the TD Bank, as well as a warrant out of Hingham, Mass. for another bank robbery which occurred on March 29, 2013.

Lane also had additional outstanding arrest warrants out of Massachusetts for assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

Cole was arrested on an outstanding warrant for her role in the Hingham bank robbery, alleging that she was an accessory after the fact, along with three other less serious arrest warrants.

Both Lane and Cole were turned over to the Brockton Police Department. They are being held pending their initial court appearance in Brockton District Court.

Lane and Cole are also suspects in additional bank robberies in the area and additional charges are possible pending the outcome of those investigations.
