RALEIGH—United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court today Chief United States District Judge James C. Dever, III sentenced Dellonte Seburn, 35, of Hyattsville, Maryland, to 132 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release. Seburn previously pled guilty on October 8, 2013, to one count of bank robbery.
On September 24, 2012, Seburn was transported by taxi to the Mechanics and Farmers Bank in Raleigh, North Carolina, after traveling from Maryland the night before. Seburn entered the bank and handed a note to the teller demanding money. He received $1,260 prior to fleeing the bank in the awaiting taxi. On October 1, 2012, Seburn was arrested in Maryland.
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative, which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified “team effort” against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the FBI Raleigh-Durham Safe Streets Task Force, composed of the Cary Police Department, Durham Police Department, Durham County Sheriff’s Office, Garner Police Department, North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, and the Raleigh Police Department.
