Daniel King, Armed Robbery, Pennsylvania 2018

A Philadelphia man has been charged with seven armed robberies of Philadelphia and Montgomery County banks and pharmacies.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Daniel King, 25, of Philadelphia, was charged by Superseding Indictment with three counts of bank robbery; four counts of armed robbery of commercial businesses; one count of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence; and one count of possessing a firearm after having been convicted of a felony.

The Indictment alleges that the defendant robbed the following banks and commercial businesses: the Rite Aid on Windrim Avenue in Philadelphia on June 10, 2018; the PNC Bank on North Broad Street in Philadelphia on June 18, 2018; the Santander Bank on Easton Road in Wyncote on June 20, 2018; the Citizens Bank on South Easton Road in Glenside on June 16, 2018; the Family Financial Check Cashing on West Girard Avenue in Philadelphia on August 28, 2018; the Rite Aid on Rising Sun Avenue in Philadelphia on September 10, 2018; and the Walgreens in Yorktown Plaza in Elkins Park on September 17, 2018.

King allegedly robbed the pharmacies and the check cashing business while armed with a handgun. The Superseding Indictment further charges the defendant with knowingly possessing a firearm loaded with 18 live rounds of ammunition, while also knowing he had previously been convicted of a felony offense which precluded him from possessing firearms.
