Philadelphia Man Pleads Guilty to Five Bank Robberies, Including One Outside Cinnaminson

A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, man admitted robbing five banks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over four months, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced on Wednesday.

Nathaniel Stroud, 34, pleaded guilty to an information charging him with two counts of bank robbery in connection with robbing two South Jersey banks between November of 2013 and January of 2014.

The first bank was a Roma Bank in Delran on Nov. 8, 2013. The second was a First Constitution Bank in Hightstown on Jan. 9, 2014.

He also admitted to robbing a PNC Bank and a TD Bank in Philadelphia, and a TD Bank in Willingboro, New Jersey.

Between September 2013 and January 2014, Stroud robbed the five banks by presenting a demand note to the bank tellers, demanding money and implying he had a gun.

In the robberies in Delran and Willingboro, there was never any indication he actually had a gun.

Stroud made off with $6,000 in the robbery of First Constitution Bank in Hightstown.

Stroud faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the charges he admitted guilt to on Wednesday.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 14.

Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Eric Welling, in Newark; the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi: and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini, with the investigation. He also thanked the Delran, Willingboro and Hightstown police departments for their assistance.
