Bank Robber Sentenced to 56 Months in Prison
A Wilmington man has been sentenced to 56 months in prison for his role in a brazen bank robbery.
Glenn Alin Martinoff, 68, was sentenced on June 9, 2021 after pleading guilty to the charge of bank robbery.
According to court documents, Martinoff entered the Dogwood State Bank in Wilmington on January 10, 2021, while brandishing a large screwdriver and wearing a surgical mask, gloves, sunglasses, and baseball cap.
He went behind the teller counter, stated that it was a robbery, and took $6,460 before fleeing. Investigators responded and obtained surveillance video, including that of Martinoff’s getaway vehicle, and were able to determine that the car was for sale at a nearby dealership.
The investigation revealed that Martinoff had taken the vehicle for a test drive earlier that day and had provided a copy of his license to the dealership. Investigators then obtained a search warrant for Martinoff’s apartment and recovered the stolen cash, along with clothing items worn by Martinoff during the robbery, and the screwdriver.
Martinoff has two prior federal bank robbery convictions from 1991 and 1996.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that brings together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina implements the PSN Program through its Take Back North Carolina Initiative. This initiative emphasizes the regional assignment of federal prosecutors to work with law enforcement and District Attorney’s Offices on a sustained basis in those communities to reduce the violent crime rate, drug trafficking, and crimes against law enforcement.
