ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A Bucks County man is facing almost three dozen felony charges in connection with a bank robbery in Allentown last month, according to charging documents.
Kareem Ali Greene, 40, of Telford was charged Wednesday with multiple counts each of robbery of a financial institution, robbery with threat of immediate serious injury, conspiracy to commit robbery and making terroristic threats.
He also faces gun-related charges and six misdemeanor counts of simple assault.
The robbery was reported shortly after a 911 call indicated there was an armed person on Muhlenberg College’s campus about a mile and a half away.Allentown police
Charging documents show a criminal complaint was filed against Greene on Monday in Lehigh County district court.
Efforts to obtain the complaint were unsuccessful Wednesday because courts were closed in observance of Juneteenth.
Only one bank robbery that day
The criminal complaint indicates Greene is charged with robbing a bank May 6 in Allentown but does not disclose which bank.
However, there was only one bank robbery reported that day.
Allentown police responded to an armed robbery the afternoon on May 6 at Wells Fargo in the 100 block of College Drive.
The robbery was reported shortly after a 911 call indicated there was an armed person on Muhlenberg College’s campus about a mile and a half away.
Officers swept and secured the campus and “determined that the call was a hoax,” police said last month.
Muhlenberg College and four Allentown schools were locked down for about an hour amid the reports.
Greene served more than a decade in state prison after pleading guilty to a March 2007 armed robbery in South Allentown, court records show.
The Allentown Police Department did not respond Wednesday to LehighValleyNews.com.
An arraignment hearing for Greene has not been scheduled.
