David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, P.J. O'Brien, Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Division of the FBI, and Berlin Police Chief Matthew J. McNally today announced that a federal grand jury in New Haven returned an indictment yesterday charging THOMAS MARRA, 55, of North Haven, with bank robbery.
The indictment alleges that, on December 31, 2025, Marra robbed the Webster Bank on Webster Square Road in Berlin.
If convicted of the offense, Marra faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
Marra has been detained since his arrest on related state charges on January 7, 2026.
In May 2023, Marra was sentenced in New Haven federal court to 60 months of imprisonment for a narcotics trafficking offense. He was released from prison in June 2025 and was on federal supervised release at the time of the alleged bank robbery. Marra faces additional penalties if he is found to have violated the conditions of his supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Sullivan stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Berlin Police Department, and the North Haven Police Department. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nathan J. Guevremont and Brendan J. Keefe.
