Peter Greer hit the banks a month apart in 2012
NEWARK -- A New Brunswick man will serve seven years in prison after being sentenced for robbing one bank and attempting to rob a second, the office of U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement.
Peter Greer, 41, previously admitted that on Sept. 27, 2012, he entered a Valley National Bank in Newark and handed the teller a note demanding cash, leaving with the money. About a month later, Greer struck at another Newark bank, a Sovereign branch, passing note stating he had a gun and again demanding cash. When the teller refused to hand the money over, Greer fled.
Along with his prison sentence Greer has been ordered to pay more than $18,000 in restitution.
