The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the United States Attorneys on April 2, 2014. It is reproduced in full below.

Portland, Maine: United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Daniel

Barry, 38, of Pembroke, New Hampshire, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court to 63

months in prison and 5 years of supervised release for armed bank robbery. He was also ordered

to pay $15,471 in restitution. The charges arose from the Oct. 19, 2013 armed bank robbery

of Kennebunk Savings in Eliot, Maine and the Oct. 26, 2013 armed bank robbery of the

Ocean Communities Federal Credit Union (OCFCU) in Sanford, Maine.

Brianne Mone, 27, of Dover, New Hampshire, was sentenced to 45 months in prison and

3 years of supervised release for aiding and abetting armed bank robbery. The charges arose

from the Aug. 21, 2013 armed bank robbery of Citizen’s Bank in Somersworth, New

Hampshire and the October 2013 armed bank robbery of OCFCU. She was also ordered to pay

$10,708 in restitution.

According to court records, during the Kennebunk Savings robbery, Barry vaulted over

the teller counter and took $7,896 from the teller drawers, while an associate, Philip Gage,

pointed a Ruger Red Hawk.44 Magnum revolver at tellers. Barry was the source of the.44

Magnum revolver used by Gage during the robbery as well as the source of a Dan Wesson.22

caliber revolver that was used by Gage to rob $8,574 from OCFCU. Both firearms we recovered

during a search of Barry’s residence.

Mone was the getaway driver for the Citizen’s Bank and OCFCU armed bank

robberies. During the Citizen’s Bank robbery, Gage gave a teller a handwritten demand note that

read, in part, “I have a bomb and a gun if you say a word you will die" and absconded with

$3,132.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Maine State

Police, and the Eliot, Kittery, Sanford, Berwick, York, Maine and Exeter, Somersworth, Alton

and Pembroke, New Hampshire police departments. U.S. Attorney Delahanty praised the

cooperation among these law enforcement agencies noting that “these armed bank robberies

were quickly solved because local, state, county and federal law enforcement agencies across

two states worked closely together."
