-- A 25-year-old Cambridge man was held at gunpoint in Central Square by a pair of thugs who had seen him withdraw money from his bank, which he had planned to use to pay his rent. [Cambridge Chronicle]

-- A pair of alleged bank robbers inadvertently made it rain on Malden today when they crashed their getaway vehicle, spreading cash all over the street, according to police. [Herald]

-- The Alleged Criminal Formerly Known as Clark Rockefeller turned down a sweet plea bargain and will instead go to trial on kidnapping charges. Is he the Manny Ramirez of rich imposters? Or the Jason Varitek of shady German expatriates? [Herald]

All charges alleged until proven under law.
