Bank Robbery Rocks Newark Community
NEWARK, New Jersey – A brazen bank robbery in May 2017 left the community shaken, with no one knowing who was behind the crime. However, after a thorough investigation, authorities finally apprehended the suspect.
Tyrone Anderson, a 46-year-old man from Essex County, pleaded guilty to bank robbery charges in a Newark federal court. According to the indictment, Anderson handed a teller a hand-written note demanding cash and threatening the teller to ‘make it quick.’
Anderson took cash from the teller and fled the scene. Fingerprints recovered from the bank led to his arrest several days later. The bank robbery charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.
Anderson’s sentencing is scheduled for April 16, 2018. He is currently awaiting his fate. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of working together to keep our communities safe.
U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito praised the efforts of the FBI, Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Newark Department of Public Safety for their role in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua L. Haber represented the government in the case.
Anderson’s defense counsel, Leticia Olivera Esq., will argue on his behalf at the sentencing hearing. As the case comes to a close, the community is left to reflect on the devastating impact of bank robbery on innocent lives.
