SANDWICH, Mass. (WLNE) — A Fall River resident has been arrested for allegedly intentionally driving his car into a bank in Sandwich multiple times Monday before entering the building after breaking a glass door.

Kevin Coelho, 38, is charged with breaking and entering into a depository, in addition to three charges of damage to property, according to the Sandwich Police Department.

Police have determined that Coelho intentionally rammed his car into the TD Bank on Route 6A at approximately 3:30 a.m.

Coehlo was held on $25,000 cash bail and was arraigned in Barnstable District Court Monday.
