FALL RIVER, MASS. (WHDH) - A man accused of robbing a bank in Fall River has been arrested after officers recognized him from a missing persons report.

Keith Beaulieu was reported missing and endangered on Aug.11, two days before he allegedly handed a note to a teller at Webster Bank on Plymouth Avenue and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.

Detectives reviewing surveillance footage of the incident were able to identify Beaulieu from the missing person report, which had circled the department and social media.

Officers were told early Thursday morning that a missing and endangered man had been admitted to St. Anne’s Hospital and that man was later identified as Beaulieu.

Beaulieu was treated and released and charged with unarmed robbery.
