WIG-WEARING BANDIT
ADMITS TO LOCAL
ROBBERIES
A Jamaica man admitted in federal
court on July 12 to wigging out during
a string of armed robberies at six gas
stations and convenience stores across
Queens last year.
Sean Jack, 36, pleaded guilty to federal
robbery conspiracy, robbery and
weapons possession charges. He faces
a prison term of seven years to life,
according to U.S. Attorney Richard P.
Donoghue.
Jack’s guilty plea primarily focused
on two of the six robberies in the
pattern: the Sept. 24, 2017, holdup at
a Mobil gas station located at 69-08
Eliot Ave. in Middle Village, and the
Oct. 1, 2017, stickup at a Sunoco station
located at 234-02 South Conduit Ave. in
Springfi eld Gardens.
According to the federal criminal
complaint, Jack had also admitted to
participating in the four other robberies
in the pattern that were not
included in the charges against him.
In each of the robberies, prosecutors
said, Jack and an accomplice
entered the gas station or mini-mart
and shopped for various items. When
they brought their selections to the
counter, one of the suspects then
pulled out a fi rearm and pointed it at
a store employee. The other suspect
then removed money from the cash
register.
Jack and/or his cohort wore a wig
during each of the capers in an apparent
attempt to conceal their identities,
law enforcement sources said.
