Ronkonkoma bank robbery suspect arrested

MEDFORD – Suffolk County Police have arrested a Mastic man for the robbery of a Ronkonkoma bank.

Police arrested Edward Motl, 41, on a service road of the Long Island Expressway in Medford.

Minutes earlier last week, Motl had entered the New York Commercial Bank branch on Veterans Highway in Ronkonkoma and robbed a teller by giving her a note and making verbal demands in which he threatened the use of a gun.

He was charged with third-degree robbery.

Motl was also charged with third-degree robbery for the robbery of the Capital One Bank branch on Montauk Highway in Blue Point on August 15, 2008.
