BANK ROBBER (continued)
On Thursday, Oct. 2 Ikanovic allegedly held up a teller at East Boston Savings while passing her a note that made a demand for money. The teller told police that he said he was armed.
After leaving the bank, Ikanovic allegedly fled down Albion Street toward North Avenue in a black Honda, possibly a Civic, but police did not know which direction he went after reaching the intersection at North Avenue.
The following day, police arrested Ikanovic who listed his address at 16 Veterans Ave., Everett on a charge  of armed robbery. He was held at the Wakefield police station until his arraignment.
On the day of the robbery a witness told the Daily Item that he saw the driver pull to the side of the roadway on Albion Street when the packet of stolen money exploded inside the suspect’s car due to red dye.
The getaway car used in the robbery - a black 2007 Honda Civic - was located the following day by Wakefield police in the parking lot of Bertucci’s restaurant on Rte. 1 north in Peabody at about 9 a.m. It was towed to the Wakefield police station.
Detectives continued their investigation to determine whether Ikanovic was involved in other bank robberies in the state.
In addition to the Wakefield Police Department the FBI’s Bank Robbery Task Force, Middlesex Sheriff’s office and the Everett Police Department worked on the case.
