East Boston Man Guilty of Peabody Bank Robbery

An East Boston man is behind bars after pleading guilty to armed robbery of a bank in Peabody.

Mark Lepage, 51, pleaded guilty to armed bank robbery and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.

The crime took place on April 4, 2011, at approximately 1:14 p.m., when Lepage walked into the Eastern Bank in Peabody brandishing a handgun, wearing sunglasses and a grey hooded sweatshirt pulled up over his head.

He grabbed a male customer, held the gun to the customer’s neck, and demanded money. After three bank tellers handed him $21,709, he fled the bank.

Lepage was arrested in East Boston two days later and indicted that month.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 3, 2014.

United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz, Vincent B. Lisi, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division, Colonel Timothy P. Alben, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, and Peabody Police Chief Robert St. Pierre, made the announcement today.

The case is being prosecuted by David G. Tobin and Carlos A. López of Ortiz’s Major Crimes Unit.
