RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man has been convicted of carjacking and several other counts after prosecutors say he committed a series of robberies.
The Raleigh-based federal prosecutor’s office said in a news release Wednesday that Demery Bernard McLymore of Roseboro, North Carolina, was convicted by a federal jury of carjacking and several firearm-related charges. The news release didn’t say when he would be sentenced.
Prosecutors say that McLymore’s string of robberies involved a dozen victims starting on September 3, 2016, and lasting into the next day.
Prosecutors say the crimes included McLymore pulling a gun on a group of boys sitting in a car in Roseboro, taking money from them and forcing one of them to drive him to Clinton. They say he also stole another person’s wristwatch and two other boys’ money.
