He was wanted in connection to the July 6^th robbery of the Washington Trust Bank located at Ruby and Indiana.

It was also determined he was a suspect in a second robbery that occurred July 17, 2018, just after 7:00pm at the US Bank inside Albertson’s Grocery Store in the 6500 block of north Nevada. The suspect description was similar to that of the suspect’s in the Washington Trust robbery. Major Crimes investigators were able connect Lamere to both crimes.

Lamere will make his first court appearance on these charges at 1:30pm tomorrow afternoon.
