VOORHEES, NJ — A 36-year-old man was convicted of robbing the Bank of Princeton Voorhees branch with a handgun, the United States Department of Justice said.
Phu Nguyen, of Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty on Oct. 29 to one count of armed bank robbery.
On June 27, 2025, Nguyen went into the bank wearing all black clothes and a facemask.
He went up to a teller with a note that said, "This is a robbery. Give me all 100's, $50,000, I have a gun."
The teller read the note and gave him $1,760 in cash.
Nguyen then went up to another employee and told her to open the cash drawer. He lifted his shirt and showed her a black handgun in his waistband.
He then left the bank and was arrested on July 3, 2025.
Nguyen faces a maximum of 25 years in jail, a $250,000 fine, and a five-year term of supervised release.
Sentencing is scheduled on March 10, 2027.
