Two men have been arrested in connection to Bay Area ATM robberies dating back to April of this year, according to a statement from the Brentwood Police Department.
The first robbery was a brazen cash grab in broad daylight. On April 9, a man was robbed at gunpoint around 12 p.m. after taking a "significant amount" of money out of the ATM at Bank of America in Brentwood.
As investigators dug deeper, they learned that the same vehicle and suspects were likely involved in another ATM robbery in Antioch.

The second suspect, 20-year-old Maurice Strong of Vallejo, was arrested by the Solano County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday. Law enforcement shared that Strong had outstanding warrants when he was arrested.
