Defendant was on supervised release following a bank robbery
conviction when he committed the charged offense
BOSTON – A Chelsea man was arrested yesterday and charged in
federal court in Boston with bank robbery.
Edward Robert Rezendes, 66, was charged in a criminal
complaint with one count of bank robbery. Rezendes, who is currently on
supervised release for an unrelated bank robbery, appeared before U.S. District
Court Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell and was ordered detained.
According to court documents, on Sept. 10, 2019, Rezendes
robbed a branch of TD Bank in Chelsea, stealing approximately $3,760.
The charging statute provides for a sentence of up to 10
years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.
Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; Joseph R.
Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Boston Field Division; and Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes made
the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kenneth G. Shine and Adam W. Deitch
of Lelling’s Major Crimes Unit are prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the charging documents are
allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
