WEBSTER — A white male riding a blue Suzuki motorcycle robbed Hometown Bank on Gore Road this morning and fled the area at a high rate of speed, prompting a multistate investigation involving Webster Police, Connecticut State Police, and the FBI.
According to a statement posted by the Webster Police Department at approximately 4:24 p.m. on July 15, 2025, the robbery occurred around 8:30 a.m. this morning at the Hometown Bank located at 4 Gore Road. The suspect, described as a white male operating a blue Suzuki GSXR motorcycle, was last seen heading south on Interstate 395 into Connecticut.
Tellers at the bank alerted the South Worcester County Communication Center, which immediately dispatched Webster police officers to the scene. Upon arrival, officers learned that the suspect “mentioned a firearm,” though no weapon was seen or displayed, police said. The man escaped with an undisclosed amount of money. No injuries were reported.
The investigation is now being led by Webster police detectives, in coordination with FBI agents from the Worcester field office, and Connecticut State Police. Authorities believe the suspect may have discarded evidence along Route 395 in Connecticut, and troopers from that state assisted in processing the scene.
“This will be a joint investigation with all relevant agencies,” the Webster Police Department said in its statement, adding: “This is another fine example of multijurisdictional agencies coming together for the same goal of catching the bad guy. And make no mistake, we will.”
