A Quincy man with a history of robbing banks along the South Shore has been charged with doing it again.

Glenn Legere, 46, is charged with one count of armed bank robbery for the Dec. 17, 2024, hold-up at a Santander Bank branch in Weymouth. He was arrested Wednesday morning and made his initial federal court appearance in Boston later in the day. He is being held ahead of his next court hearing scheduled for July 8.

“I want the money,” Legere allegedly told the only bank teller stationed to help the public before the bank closed at 5 p.m., which was minutes away. “I don’t play.”

The teller, who had two coworkers safely inside the vault at the time, told police that he “feared for his life” as the masked man at his teller window pointed a black handgun at him and opened a bag for the money, according to a law enforcement affidavit to support the charges.

The teller said he was so frightened he initially mistook the robber’s purplish Under Armor sweatshirt for orange. He told investigators that the robber didn’t seem satisfied with the $947 from the teller’s drawer, running up and down the teller windows motioning for more before fleeing. The whole job took about a minute.

Local and federal task force investigators viewed bank security footage showing a suspect wearing a dark hoodie, white face mask, ballcap, black trackpants with red stripes, and white sneakers entering the bank at 4:46 p.m. and leaving at 4:47 p.m. Police noticed he carried the money bag in his right hand and held the pistol in his left hand, indicating a left-handed suspect.

Investigators next turned toward security camera footage from South Shore Hospital, which showed a gray Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV park behind a nearby building. A man matching their suspect emerged from the driver’s seat and returned to the SUV on the proper timeline for the robbery, according to the affidavit.

They put out an alert for a 2011-2021 fourth-generation Grand Cherokee with a faulty left taillight and got a hit from a Wellesley Police detective who had photos of the vehicle, including a shot of the license plate.

That led investigators to Legere and his apartment on the first block of Clay Street in Quincy. They even put a GPS tracker on the car on Dec. 21, 2024, and got an alert that it had been removed and then put on someone else’s car five days later. When they next checked in at his location they saw Legere was driving a rented Toyota Camry.

Legere, who is indeed left-handed, has an “extensive” history of bank robberies in Braintree, Hanover, Duxbury and Plymouth dating back to 2010. He has another conviction for armed robbery in 2011.
