DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) - Police say a man wearing a suit and driving a BMW tried to rob a Boston-area bank at gunpoint but was arrested
after an employee texted for help.

Police say the man pretended to be withdrawing money from an ATM at a Citizens Bank branch in Dedham, Mass., yesterday then forced
his way in when an employee walked inside. Police say he then ordered employees to try to open the locked vault.

A bank employee was able to send a text message to the manager of a branch in a nearby town. The manager alerted police. Officers
working a road detail just 100 yards away responded within seconds and arrested the suspect, 34-year-old Delroy George Henry of
Boston.

Henry is scheduled to be arraigned today. Police didn't know if he has an attorney.

The BMW is not registered to Henry, and investigators are trying to determine if it's his.
