Tesca Trio, Bank Robbery, Ohio 2015

A notorious trio from Mansfield, Ohio, has been charged in connection with a string of bank robberies that left the community shaken. Kyle A. Tesca, age 21, Caleb A. Lambert, age 21, and Kollin J. Tesca, age 19, all of Mansfield, Ohio, face four counts of armed bank robbery and brandishing firearms during the bank robberies.

The indictment alleges that on December 15, 2014, Kyle A. Tesca, Caleb A. Lambert, and Kollin J. Tesca robbed the Richland Bank located at 460 West Cook Road, Mansfield, Ohio. The trio allegedly returned on January 15, 2015, to rob the Chase Bank located at 1094 Lexington Avenue, Mansfield, Ohio.

In a shocking turn of events, the indictment further alleges that Kyle A. Tesca and Caleb A. Lambert brandished firearms during each of the bank robberies. The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Mansfield Office.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Linda H. Barr. An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

If convicted, a defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal records, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.

The investigation into the bank robberies is ongoing, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The Mansfield community is still reeling from the string of bank robberies, and the charges against the Tesca trio bring a sense of relief to those affected.
