WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—A 44-year-old man has admitted he stole nearly $25,000 in five bank robberies this year in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

Frank Surico of Poughkeepsie entered guilty pleas to six counts of bank robbery in Federal District Court in White Plains Tuesday.

The Connecticut bank heists included a January robbery in Brookfield and a February robbery in Danbury.

Surico was arrested by state troopers and Poughkeepsie police following a chase in Ulster County and across the Mid-Hudson Bridge into Poughkeepsie on March 4. Police say he had just robbed a bank in Matamoras, Pa.

Now he faces up to 20 years in federal prison when he’s sentenced in October.
