A brazen bank robbery in Weymouth has ended with a Quincy man behind bars. Glenn Legere, 47, was sentenced to 110 months in prison for the December 17, 2024 armed robbery of a Santander Bank.
Legere pleaded guilty in December 2025 to one count of armed bank robbery, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. He was arrested in June 2025 and had been awaiting trial.
The robbery occurred at approximately 4:52 p.m. on December 17, 2024, when Legere entered the bank through the main entrance, wearing a sweatshirt, baseball hat, face covering, and gloves. He approached a teller’s window, removed a black firearm from the front pocket of his sweatshirt, and demanded all the money.
As the bank teller handed Legere money from the cash box, he yelled words to the effect of ‘I need money,’ ‘I want the money,’ and ‘I don’t play.’ At various times, Legere pointed the firearm directly at the teller. He also ran towards other teller windows, gesturing towards the cash box areas and demanding more money, but the teller explained that there was no more money and displayed an empty cash drawer.
Legere left the bank with approximately $947 in stolen cash. A subsequent review of surveillance video footage from nearby locations determined that he drove to and from the robbery location in a silver or grey Jeep Grand Cherokee. A vehicle matching the description was captured on cameras in Quincy immediately before and after the robbery. The vehicle was registered to Legere.
Legere has multiple prior convictions for committing armed and unarmed robberies, including a 2011 conviction of armed robbery in Norfolk Superior Court for which he was sentenced to three to five years in state prison, as well as a 2010 conviction for armed and unarmed robbery of banks in Braintree, Hanover, Duxbury, and Plymouth for which he was sentenced to three years in state prison.
The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division, with valuable assistance provided by the Massachusetts State Police, the National Insurance Crime Bureau, and the Wellesley Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Luke A. Goldworm of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
Legere’s sentence of 110 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, brings an end to a case that had sent shockwaves through the Weymouth community. The brazen nature of the robbery and the use of a firearm have raised concerns about public safety and the need for greater vigilance in our communities.
The sentencing of Glenn Legere is a reminder that bank robberies will not be tolerated and that those who commit such crimes will face severe consequences. The FBI and our law enforcement partners will continue to work tirelessly to bring those who engage in this type of criminal activity to justice.
