INDIANAPOLIS — Two men have received decades-long prison sentences for their roles in two robberies of armored bank cars in December 2021, the Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced on Friday. According to the MCPO, 31-year-old Devante Foster will serve 36 years in prison and 10 years on probation, while 34-year-old Lonnie McGill will serve 28 years in prison and 10 years on probation. Both parties were found guilty in October on the following charges, the MCPO wrote: Two counts of armed robbery (Level 3 Felonies) Kidnapping (Level 3 Felony) Two counts of criminal confinement (Level 3 Felonies) Theft (Level 5 Felony) “These crimes were calculated and deliberate and the defendants showed a willingness to continually put lives at risk for their own greed," Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said. "It’s a miracle no one was seriously injured or killed." The MCPO added that the first robbery occurred on December 15, 2021. Here, Foster and McGill followed an armored bank car to a Dollar General in the 5400 block of N. Emerson Avenue. Per the prosecutor's office, the duo ambushed a guard while wearing ski masks and pointing firearms. Foster and McGill then forced the guard to the back of the truck, attempted to get other guards to open the truck and fled the scene when an alarm sounded. Their crimes continued the next day. The MCPO wrote that Foster and McGill robbed an armored bank car outside of an Auto Zone in the 8700 block of E. Washington Street on December 16, 2021. In this case, Foster and McGill — once again wearing ski masks, brandishing firearms and forcing a guard to open the back of the truck — stole $830,000 from the vehicle. According to the MCPO, one of the defendants grabbed the money bags in the truck while the other disarmed the guard. Security footage, cell phone records and surveillance connected Foster and McGill to the robberies, the MCPO wrote. This was done via a joint investigation from the Indianapolis Metro Police Department, the Lawrence Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The MCPO stated that Foster's arrest resulted in police finding his vehicle full of thousands of dollars in cash and unopened merchandise. When officers searched Foster's residence, they found handwritten index cards that contained potential instructions or cues for robberies. Per the MCPO, one index card even had the words "Auto Zone" written on it.
