Glenn Legere, 46, of Quincy, Massachusetts, is facing serious charges after allegedly robbing a Santander Bank in Weymouth at gunpoint in December 2024.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Legere was arrested this morning and charged with one count of armed bank robbery. The charge carries a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.
The alleged robbery took place on December 17, 2024, at approximately 4:52 p.m. at a Santander Bank branch in Weymouth. The suspect, identified as Legere, allegedly entered the bank wearing a sweatshirt, baseball hat, face covering, and gloves. He then approached a teller’s window, removed a black firearm from his sweatshirt, and demanded all the money.
Legere allegedly yelled words to the effect of ‘I need money,’ ‘I want the money,’ and ‘I don’t play’ as he pointed the firearm directly at the victim teller. He then ran towards other teller windows, gesturing towards the cash box areas and demanding more money. The victim teller explained that there was no more money and displayed an empty cash drawer. Legere allegedly left the bank with approximately $947 in stolen cash.
A subsequent review of surveillance video footage from nearby locations determined that the suspect 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. It is alleged that 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 and a 2010 conviction for armed and unarmed robbery of banks in Braintree, Hanover, Duxbury, and Plymouth.
At Legere’s initial appearance in federal court in Boston today, a firearm and some of the clothing believed to be used by Legere during the robbery were recovered. Legere was ordered detained pending a hearing scheduled for July 8, 2025.
The charge of armed bank robbery provides for a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
Legere’s case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Luke A. Goldworm of the Major Crimes Unit. Valuable assistance was provided by the Massachusetts State Police, the National Insurance Crime Bureau, and the Wellesley Police Department.
The details contained in the charging document are allegations. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law.
