Rubiel Perez, a 30-year-old man from Allentown, pleads guilty in federal court to armed robbery charges stemming from a series of 7-Eleven robberies in March 2023. He faces serious charges, including two counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery, after reportedly using a handgun in two successful heists and attempting a third.

Federal authorities confirmed his plea came after charges filed in November 2023, with sentencing scheduled for July, raising questions about the implications of such violent crimes in the community.
