Evan Lemmon, Bank Robbery, New Mexico 2023

Evan Lemmon, 29, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was sentenced to 80 months in prison, and ordered to pay $24,875 in restitution for nine counts of bank robbery.

According to court records, over a five-month period from September 28, 2021, to March 7, 2022, Lemmon committed a spree of nine bank robberies in Albuquerque, each following a similar pattern.

Each time, Lemmon would enter the banks wearing a cap, face covering, and a glove on his right hand and pass a similar note to a teller. After the tellers complied, Lemmon would flee on foot to a car parked nearby and leave the scene.

After the eighth robbery, the FBI located one of the cars Lemmon fled in with the assistance of the Albuquerque Police Department's Investigative Support Unit. The FBI tracked the vehicle and subsequently located it leaving the scene on the ninth robbery.

At that time, the FBI executed a search warrant on Lemmon's residence and recovered caps and items of clothing consistent with the robberies, a piece of paper believed to be a draft note that stated 'I HAVE A GUN GIVE M,' and U.S. currency.

Upon his release from prison, Lemmon will be subject to three years of supervised release.

The FBI's Albuquerque Violent Crime and Gang Task Force and the Albuquerque Police Department's Investigate Support Unit investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorney Jaymie L. Roybal is prosecuting the case.

This case is a prime example of the FBI's commitment to keeping our communities safe from violent crime. The FBI's Albuquerque Field Office would like to thank the Albuquerque Police Department for their assistance in this case.
