Las Vegas Resident Sentenced to Nearly Six Years for Armed Bank Heists

In federal court today, a Las Vegas man was sentenced to 70 months in prison for his involvement in a series of armed bank robberies across the area. According to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice, Denzel Jones admitted to committing the robberies in North Las Vegas and Henderson during January 2025.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey imposed the sentence on Jones, who brandished an XBG BB gun during the robberies, threatening bank employees and customers as he demanded cash. Jones fled the scenes with money in a vehicle operated by co-defendant Tru’Shauna, who is pending sentencing for her own role in the crime. Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, North Las Vegas Police Department, and Henderson Police Department, were involved in the investigation, underscoring a strong commitment to combatting violent crime.
