Randolph man pleads guilty to two bank robberies
A Randolph man pleaded guilty to two counts of bank robbery on Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s office said in a statement.On July 28, 2014, a man later identified as Gary S. Judge, 37, entered a Century Bank in Braintree carrying a shoe box. He gave a teller a note that read, “PUT THE MONEY IN THE BOX NOW, $20’S $50’S AND $100’S,” according to the statement.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said the teller gave Judge $5,622 in cash and he left the bank. After the tellers were interviewed by officers, details regarding the robbery were circulated on law enforcement and public social media sites.
On August 11, 2014, a man also later identified as Judge entered a Citizens Bank branch in Milton with a shoe box and gave a teller a similar note, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Authorities said the teller gave Judge $670 in cash, including a red dye pack, and he left the bank. A bank customer noticed red smoke emerging from the box as Judge drove away in a Chrysler SUV with Massachusetts license plates, according to the statement.
Officers then received a tip that Judge might have been involved in the robberies. A recent photograph of Judge matched surveillance pictures from the bank robberies and law enforcement discovered his wife owned a Chrysler SUV matching the description from the Milton robbery, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.
Judge was scheduled to be sentenced on January 18, 2017.
