A brazen bank robbery in Mansfield, Ohio has led to a federal indictment against a local man.

The first incident occurred on December 15, 2014, when Tesca and others allegedly robbed the Richland Bank located at 460 West Cook Road, Mansfield, Ohio.

The second incident took place on January 15, 2015, when Tesca and others allegedly robbed the Chase Bank located at 1094 Lexington Avenue, Mansfield, Ohio.
