Weymouth Bank Bandit Caught: 46-Year-Old Glenn Legere Charged with Armed Robbery
BOSTON – In a brazen daylight robbery, Quincy man Glenn Legere, 46, allegedly stormed into a Weymouth Santander Bank at gunpoint, making off with $947 in cash. The suspect, described as a serial bank robber, was arrested and charged with one count of armed bank robbery.
According to court documents, on December 17, 2024, at approximately 4:52 p.m., local law enforcement was dispatched to the Santander Bank branch in Weymouth for a reported bank robbery. The victim teller reported that the suspect, wearing a sweatshirt, baseball hat, face covering, and gloves, entered the bank through the main entrance and approached the teller’s window. The suspect allegedly pointed a black firearm directly at the victim teller and demanded all the money.
It is alleged that the suspect yelled words to the effect of ‘I need money,’ ‘I want the money,’ and ‘I don’t play’ as the bank teller handed over the cash. The suspect then allegedly ran towards other teller windows, gesturing towards the cash box areas and demanding more money. The victim teller explained that there was no more money and displayed an empty cash drawer. The suspect allegedly then left the bank with the stolen cash.
A subsequent review of surveillance video footage from nearby locations determined that the suspect drove to and from the robbery location in a silver or grey Jeep Grand Cherokee. A vehicle matching the description was captured on cameras in Quincy immediately before and after the robbery. It is alleged that the vehicle was registered to Legere.
Legere, a serial bank robber with multiple prior convictions, has a history of committing armed and unarmed robberies. In 2011, he was convicted of armed robbery in Norfolk Superior Court and sentenced to three to five years in state prison. In 2010, he was convicted of armed and unarmed robbery of banks in Braintree, Hanover, Duxbury, and Plymouth and sentenced to three years in state prison.
When Legere was arrested, a firearm and some of the clothing believed to be used by Legere during the robbery were recovered. The charge of armed bank robbery provides for a sentence of up to 25 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Assistant U.S. Attorney Luke A. Goldworm of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the charging document are allegations. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the court of law.
