BELLE VERNON, Pa. (AP) — Police say a man jailed on three robberies and suspected in another in West Virginia told them he needed the money to kill his ex-girlfriend and flee the state.
Rostraver police say Stephen Gaza IV, 34, of Masontown, “openly admitted” that was his motive after he was charged by them with robbing a PNC Bank branch there. He’s also charged with robbing a Kmart and a United Bank, both in Uniontown.
He was caught after the most recent bank heist, and is also suspected of robbing a Huntingdon Bank in Morgantown that same afternoon.
