Kareem Moore, 31, of North Wales.
A North Wales man who was involved in the armed robbery of a bank in Carneys Point, NJ in July 2018 has been sentenced to prison.
Kareem Moore, 31, was sentenced on Tuesday to 14 years in prison following a guilty plea to a federal indictment on charges of armed bank robbery and brandishing a firearm during a bank robbery. United States District Judge Joseph Rodriguez also ordered that Moore be placed on five years’ supervised release following his prison sentence, and he must make restitution in the amount of $103,444.
A second man involved in the incident — Antwaine Thomas, 41, of Philadelphia — was sentenced to 22 years in prison, along with the same supervised release and restitution assignments.
The charges stem from a bank robbery that occurred on July 30, 2018, in Salem County, NJ.
According to a release from the United States Department of Justice, Moore and Thomas walked into the Fulton Bank in Carneys Point on July 30, 2018, at which point Thomas pointed a handgun at four bank employees and demanded cash. Thomas then handed the weapon to Moore, who also demanded cash from the employees.
Once the two men received the cash, the fled the scene, according to the release.
Responding officers arrived on scene just the men were exiting the bank, and after a brief foot pursuit, police tackled and arrested Moore. The report states that a portion of the stolen money was located inside of Moore’s pants.
Thomas was arrested several hours later, and was captured on surveillance video from a nearby residential area disposing of the cash, gun and his clothing, investigators said.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI, Salem County Prosecutor’s Office, Carneys Point Police Department and Penns Grove Police Department. The government was represented by U.S. Attorney Kristen Harberg, of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Camden, NJ.
