MANSFIELD â Police say the suspect in three area bank robberies may have committed the crimes to fund a gambling addiction.
The wife of suspect Roger A. Viveiros, 55, of Taunton, told a detective that her husband told her about three or four months ago that âhe needed help for his gambling problem,â according to a police report obtained by The Sun Chronicle Tuesday.
Viveiros was arrested last Friday in Taunton, allegedly with a robbery note in his pocket, as he was walking to the same Santander Bank he is accusing of robbing on Nov. 27.
The note demanded money with no dye packs and stated no one would get hurt and to give the note back, according to a police report.
