A 38-year-old Middletown man faces at least 15 years in prison for robbing  two  New Castle County banks and a donut shop.

Travis McNeal pleaded guilty to two counts of Robbery First Degree and one count of Robbery Second Degree.

According to the state Attorney General’s office, in February 2012, McNeal robbed the Dunkin’ Donuts on Pulaski Highway in Glasgow. The same day, the PNC Bank on Kirkwood Highway near Prices Corner was robbed.

An investigation led to McNeal who was already in custody in Pennsylvania awaiting trial on robbery charges and wanted for the same in Maryland.

McNeal was returned to Delaware in December 2017, and while out on bail in March,  robbed the Fulton Bank on Main Street in Middletown.

McNeal faces a minimum mandatory sentence of five years on each count when sentenced by a Superior Court judge in March.
