WILMINGTON, N.C. (WNCT) — A North Carolina man was sentenced Friday to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to two bank robberies in Raleigh and Greenville.
Cameron Evans, 27, of Kittrell, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard E. Myers II. The Davie County Sheriff’s Office, the Raleigh, Greenville and Mebane police departments, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated his case.
According to records and other information presented in court, On Dec. 6, 2019, the SunTrust bank located at 7320 Creedmoor Road in Raleigh, was robbed at gunpoint by four men.
The men left the bank with approximately $11,578 and witnesses saw them fleeing the scene in a white Hyundai Elantra.
