DARTMOUTH — Police have identified a suspect in the unarmed robbery of an elderly woman in a bank parking lot this week.

Dartmouth Police say Miguel Brasil, 40, with a last known address of 251 County Street, New Bedford, is wanted for the unarmed robbery and assault of a 76-year-old woman Monday morning at the Citizens Bank at 606 Dartmouth Street. Brasil is currently homeless, according to Dartmouth Police.
