A Rockland man who was wanted in connection with a string of recent robberies — including the Bank of Canton’s downtown branch on Saturday — is now in police custody thanks to the combined efforts of federal, state and local law enforcement officials.

The suspect has been identified as 30-year-old David Poulos and he is also suspected of robberies in Weymouth, Braintree and Hanson.
