FALMOUTH - A man accused of robbing a bank on the Cape and stealing a customer's car nearly two months ago has been captured.

Petar Petyoshin, 40, of Edgartown, was arrested Tuesday, according to the Cape and Islands District Attorney.

Investigators say Petyoshin walked into the Rockland Trust Bank on Route 28 in Falmouth on April 8, flashed a weapon, demanded money from a teller and claimed to have a bomb.

The teller gave the thief money and he then stole a customer's car and took off. That car was found a short time later.
