Serial bank robber sentenced for crimes in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery counties
Дата публикации: 30-07-2026 12:17:58
A man was sentenced Thursday to nine to 18 years in prison for carrying out a bank robbery spree across Bucks, Delaware and Montgomery counties in 2024, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
On July 30, Marc Masich, 48, of New York, was ordered to serve consecutive terms of 18 to 36 months for each robbery count. In May, Masich entered a no-contest plea to a first-degree felony charge of robbery and pleaded guilty to five other felony robbery charges.
Prosecutors said the man’s conviction stems from a “rapid sequence of events” that took place on the afternoon of Dec. 23, 2024, that ended with his arrest.
According to officials, the spree began at approximately 5 p.m., when Masich entered the TD Bank at 2751 Street Road in Bensalem wearing a black knit hat, black surgical mask, navy blue sweatshirt and black pants.
Prosecutors said Masich handed a teller a demand note instructing them to hand over cash without trackers. The teller activated a silent alarm and informed him that the cash machine was inaccessible, prompting Masich to leave the scene.
Thirteen minutes later, officials said he entered the Santander Bank at 1425 Street Road while still wearing the mask. When employees told him that he had to lower it, he left the building.
Shortly after that, a Middletown Township Police detective alerted Bensalem Police over the radio that the suspect might be operating a small black Nissan sedan, which was tied to a similar bank robbery on Dec. 12, 2024.
At 5:21 p.m., a Bensalem Police officer checking the parking lot of the PNC Bank at 3707 Hulmeville Road spotted an unoccupied, running black Nissan sedan without a rear registration plate.
Moments later, officers saw Masich running out of the bank carrying a white Bank of America bag containing approximately $4,000 in cash that he had just taken from tellers using a similar demand note, prosecutors said.
Officers took him into custody outside the bank’s front doors.
“The swift arrest and state prison sentence are the direct result of exceptional inter-agency teamwork,” said District Attorney Joe Khan. “The defendant targeted multiple communities across Southeastern Pennsylvania, but our local police and prosecutors worked together to ensure his spree ended swiftly. Our county is safer today with him off the streets.”
According to prosecutors, during a police interview, Masich confessed to the robberies and attempted robberies. He also admitted to committing three other robberies in November using the same note at Santander Bank locations in Langhorne and North Wales, as well as a Truist Bank in Newtown Square, according to officials, citing the criminal complaint.
“This case is a great example of how timely communication and strong partnerships between local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies lead to successful outcomes,” Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartorilla said.
As part of his sentence, Masich was also ordered to pay $20,255 in restitution and that he have no contact with any of the six financial institutions or six employees involved.
