A punctual New Jersey criminal who robbed banks every Thursday has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison.
Peter Bielecke pleaded guilty in June to one count of bank robbery, but also admitted five other holdups on consecutive Thursdays in January, February and March. He robbed banks in several cities including his hometown of Brick.
He didn't give a reason for choosing Thursdays - but authorities say the pattern made it a lot easier to track him.
The 40-year-old was arrested after a March 5 robbery in Old Bridge, New Jersey.
He'll serve five years and 10 months in prison, and also have to pay nearly $12,000 (around £7,400) in restitution under the sentence handed down on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Trenton.
