BOSTON – A Boston man was sentenced yesterday in federal
court in Boston for robbing five banks throughout April and June 2017.
Thomas W. Nee, 47, was sentenced by U.S. District Court
Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. to 92 months in prison and three years of
supervised release. In September 2017, Nee pleaded guilty to five counts of
bank robbery. Nee’s federal sentence will begin after he completes a three-year
state sentence he is currently serving.
Between April and June 2017, Nee robbed five Boston banks of
over $8,200. The robberies occurred on April 21, at Santander Bank on
Commonwealth Avenue; on May 5, at Citizens Bank on Tremont Street; on May 8, at
Century Bank on State Street; on May 22, at Randolph Savings Bank on School
Street; and on June 8, at Eastern Bank on West Broadway. Nee committed each of
the robberies by handing a teller a note demanding money.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling and Harold H. Shaw,
Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Field
Office, made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Wichers of
Lelling’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
