HARRISBURG, Pa. — A 30-year-old Harrisburg man will serve up 11 years in federal prison for committing four armed bank robberies in Cumberland County in 2019.

Aaron Johnson will also serve five years of probation after his release as part of a sentence ordered by Chief U.S. District Judge John E. Jones, according to acting U.S. Attorney Bruce D. Brandler.

Johnson committed four robberies between February and September of 2019, Brandler said.

Johnson was guilty of robbing:

  • AmeriChoice Federal Credit Union on February 15, 2019 (stole $6,300)

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Lower Allen Police Department, East Pennsboro Township Police Department, Camp Hill Borough Police Department, and the Hampden Township Police Department.
