Event Triggering this Release:

Devin Enriques, age 24 of Omaha, was sentenced after pleading guilty to two counts of Conspiracy to Commit Bank Robbery, one count of Bank Robbery, and one count of Use of a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence, i.e., Bank Robbery. The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Enriques to 60 months in prison on the two counts of Conspiracy to Commit Bank Robbery to run concurrently with a 72-month sentence on the one count of Bank Robbery. He also sentenced Enriques to serve an additional 84 months in prison on the one count of Use of a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence, i.e., Bank Robbery. In total, Enriques was ordered to serve 156 months in prison, (thirteen years).

On October 5, 2008, the Omaha Police Department and the FBI received information from an informant regarding a planned bank robbery that was to occur the following day. Investigators were told that Devin Enriques was planning a robbery and was attempting to recruit others to participate in robbing the TierOne Bank at 97th & Q. Enriques drew a map for the informant of how he planned to rob the Q Street location. The map was turned over to the FBI. A fingerprint matching Enriques was found on the map.

Enriques told the informant that he and some others had already robbed the TierOne Bank on Arbor Street and gave details not known to the public about the robbery. The Arbor Street branch had in fact been robbed on September 4, 2008, in the manner in which Enriques described. Three armed men entered the Arbor Street location and pointed guns in the faces of bank personnel. The men left with money from the bank in a white car that was later abandoned and determined to be stolen. Enriques’ DNA was on found clothing items left at the scene of the robbery.

Marquita Jensen, a teller, at the Arbor Street branch, has also been indicted on charges alleging she conspired with Enriques to rob both the Arbor Street and Q Street locations. She is currently awaiting trial.
