NJ's Bicycle Bandit pleads guilty to 8 bank jobs
By Associated Press
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) - A man police dubbed the Bicycle Bandit has admitted committing eight bank robberies in southern New Jersey and Delaware.
Prosecutors say Brian Layton went on a yearlong spree in which he robbed banks in six New Jersey cities and in Wilmington, Del., and rode away on a bicycle each time. Layton was arrested Sept. 25 while trying to flee from a New Jersey state trooper on the Garden State Parkway in a van and then by foot. Police say Layton dropped a backpack containing cash from a robbery. The 48-year-old pleaded guilty Tuesday before a U.S. District Court judge in Camden. Each of the eight counts against him carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for May 27. |
