A brazen bank robbery in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, ended with a guilty plea in federal court. Barry Daniels, 30, of Pittsburgh, admitted to robbing the PNC Bank at 4917 Homeville Road on September 12, 2018.
Daniels, wearing a Pirates hat and a black buttoned-up McDonald’s shirt, entered the bank and handed the teller a deposit slip with a note that read: ‘Give me all of your 100s and 50s.’
The teller was forced to hand over $505.00 to Daniels, who was captured on surveillance video driving a black vehicle into the bank parking lot and leaving in the same vehicle after the robbery.
Daniels remains detained pending the sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for July 25, 2019. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or both, under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The investigation that led to Daniels’ arrest was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the West Mifflin Police Department, and the Turtle Creek Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorney Rebecca L. Silinski is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government.
The bank robbery in West Mifflin was just one of many crimes committed in the Pittsburgh area in recent years. Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
