DC Resident Sentenced to 20 Years for Armored Car Robbery

U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow this week sentenced Keith Willie Reed, 26, of Washington, D.C., and Tobias Richard Dyer, 23, of Upper Marlboro, Md., each to 20 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release, after they pleaded guilty to robbery and interstate transportation of stolen vehicles, in connection with an armored car robbery in 2012.

According to their plea agreements and court documents, Reed, Dyer and others robbed an armored car employee on Dec. 11, 2012, as the employee was carrying money from a business establishment to the armored transport vehicle, according to a news release from the FBI.

The FBI said the two and others stole two vehicles and drove one of them to Oxon Hill, Md. armed with firearms, in order to rob an armored car employee. The robbers exited the Nissan Altima and shot the employee while he was carrying $2,350 in cash from a store to the armored truck parked outside the store. The robbers took the bag containing the money being carried by the employee, and stole the employee’s gun. The robbers then got back into the stolen Nissan Altima and drove away.

The armored car employee was shot, sustaining life-threatening bodily injury, the FBI said.

Prior to their guilty pleas in Maryland, Reed and Dyer were convicted of similar crimes in a federal case in the Eastern District of Virginia and were each sentenced to 60 years in prison. The Maryland sentence is concurrent to the Virginia sentence.
