“Nee was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2021,” the report says.
It was reported that on the afternoon of April 26, 2021, Nee entered a TD Bank branch in Boston, showed a teller what appeared to be a firearm and threatened to kill a teller and a bank customer before robbing the bank of $990.
