MOUNT HOLLY — A Camden man was arrested Tuesday and charged in connection with five bank heists, four of which occurred in Burlington County.
Brandon A. Dickerson, 22, is charged with five counts of robbery for allegedly committing the following heists, which all occurred within a one-month period:
• On Nov. 9, a suspect walked into a Cornerstone Bank in Burlington City, handed the teller a note, and then fled with approximately $2,500.
• On Nov. 17, a man entered a TD Bank in Mount Holly, passed the cashier a note, and then fled with approximately $1,550.

• On Dec. 9, a suspect walked into a PNC Bank in Haddonfield, handed the teller a note, and then fled with approximately $2,700.
According to police, no weapon was displayed during any of the robberies, but on two occasions the suspect threatened to use a firearm if the teller did not follow instructions.
Police say their investigation revealed that Dickerson spent the money on items for himself and his family, and that an undisclosed amount of cash was recovered following his arrest.
Police sources say there have been 20 bank robberies in Burlington County thus far in 2013. Arrests have been made in connection with nine of those robberies, according to police.
