Heather Brown, a 50-year-old woman from New Haven, Connecticut, robbed three banks in Waterbury and Bristol in 2024. The string of robberies occurred over three days, with Brown hitting the Wells Fargo Bank in Waterbury on February 6, the Liberty Bank in Waterbury on February 7, and the Webster Bank in Bristol on February 9. Brown’s motives are unclear, but her actions landed her a 10-year prison sentence.
Brown’s history of bank robbery is extensive, with previous convictions in 2006 and 2010. She served over 15 years in prison for those offenses before being released and committing the new string of robberies. The investigation into Brown’s latest crimes was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police departments in Waterbury, Bristol, and Southington.
Brown pleaded guilty to the charges on October 7, 2025, and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Vernon D. Oliver in Hartford. In addition to her 10-year prison sentence, Brown was ordered to pay $8,328 in restitution to the banks she robbed.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan J. Guevremont. Brown’s sentencing serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of violent crime in Connecticut.
