WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ.- On Wednesday, a 48-year-old Asbury Park, New Jersey, man was taken into custody and jailed after being charged in connection with allegedly robbing the TD Bank located on Parker Road in West Long Branch, New Jersey.

     According to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago, on Wednesday, June 4, 2025,  Michael Miranda, 48, of Asbury Park, New Jersey, was criminally charged on Wednesday with one count of second-degree Robbery. 

     Miranda was processed on the charge and was remanded to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution, pending future court proceedings in Monmouth County Superior Court in Freehold, New Jersey.

     The charges stem from an incident that unfolded on Monday, June 2, 2025, when shortly before 9:00 a.m., members of the West Long Branch Police Department responded to the TD Bank branch on Parker Road in the Borough of West Long Branch.
