A Phoenix man, Carlos Devon Lewis, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, after being convicted of three counts of Armed Bank Robbery.
In late 2019, Lewis and his co-conspirators robbed three area banks at gunpoint. In each robbery, Lewis, fully masked, jumped the bank teller counter, stole cash from teller drawers, and hopped back over the counter while his masked co-conspirator pointed a gun at bank employees and customers. Both then escaped in a getaway car. In total, Lewis and his co-conspirators stole more than $80,000.
His prison sentence is to be followed by five years of supervised release.
