A Philadelphia man who robbed three banks on four separate occasions in 2015 received a 16-year sentence on Friday, according to the the U.S. Attorney's Office Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

David Thomas, 23, of Philadelphia was sentenced to 192 months in state prison as well as $48,408 for robbing three banks, the attorney's office said.

The attorney's office said Thomas orchestrated the four robberies, two at the Wells Fargo 52 N.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Philadelphia and Lower Merion Police Departments investigated the case, the attorney's office said.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Eric A. Boden, according to the attorney's office.
