Boston Bank Robber Charged with Stealing $5,010
A Boston man has been charged with stealing $5,010 from a downtown bank in 2017. Thomas W. Nee, 46, entered the Randolph Savings Bank on School Street in Boston and handed a teller a note that read: ‘THIS IS A ROBBERY GIVE ME ALL 100’s 50’s 20’s “NO DYE PACK.” The teller then gave Nee $5,010 in cash.
The robbery was captured on bank surveillance video. Nee was arrested on unrelated state charges outside of Fenway Park on June 12, 2017. During questioning with a federal agent, Nee allegedly confessed to the Randolph Savings Bank robbery as well as other unsolved bank robberies.
Nee was detained following an initial appearance before U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal. The charge provides for a sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, three years of supervised released, and a fine of up to $250,000.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Harold H. Shaw, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Field Office, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Wichers of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
According to court documents, the robbery was a brazen daytime heist that has left authorities scrambling for answers. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Nee is being held without bail pending a further hearing. The case is a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance in preventing and solving crimes.
