A Dedham man has been arrested and charged with a series of Dunkin Donuts robberies, according to Canton Police.

Isaiah Murphy, who was born in 1990, allegedly robbed more than 20 Dunkin Donuts in the Greater Boston area. The arrest was done in Canton where two of the alleged robberies occurred. The town is also the home of the company's headquarters. A follow-up investigation is still ongoing. 

The Dunkin Donuts at 28 Winn Street in Burlington was robbed on October 14 of this year, the same night there was another robbery by a suspect with the same description at a Dunkin Donuts in Bedford. While nobody with direct knowledge at the Burlington Police Department could be reached for comment Tuesday night to confirm they believe this suspect is the same, the day after the robbery Burlington Police did put out a press release stating the robbery was being investigated as part of the rash of Dunkin Donuts robberies in the state. 

Canton police worked with the Boston Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, NORPAC detectives and numerous local law information enforcement officers to take Murphy into custody at 2:40 p.m. He was then taken to the Canton Police Department's headquarters and will be arraigned Wednesday in Stoughton District Court.

Police say evidence collected at many of the affected locations were linked to Murphy. 

After what police called an "intense investigation," they obtained a search warrant for Murphy's home  from Stoughton District Court at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
