A New Kensington man has been sentenced in connection with a violent cell phone store robbery.
32-year-old Trey Bell was accused of robbing the AT&T store on Tarentum Bridge Road back in 2024.
Prosecutors say at gunpoint, Bell ordered store employees to restrain themselves with zip ties as he then stole more than $47,000 worth of cell phone and smart watches.
Police were able to track down Bell using License Plate Readers, and obtained a DNA sample that officials say links him to several similar robberies.
Bell has pleaded guilty to all charges stemming from the New Kensington robbery and has been sentenced to four to twelve years in state prison followed by five years of supervised release.
