On July 16, 2021, Leblanc allegedly entered the Shoprite Supermarket located at 542 Berlin Cross Keys Road in Winslow Twp. 

He placed some items into a shopping basket and then approached a teller at the PNC Bank, which was located inside the supermarket.

He presented the teller with a note that was similar to the one he allegedly presented during the July 13robbery in Runnemede. 

In the note, Leblanc demanded cash from the teller in specific denominations and threatened to shoot him, if he did not comply.  

He then fled the store with an undisclosed amount of money.

As a result of a thorough investigation, detectives were able to determine that Leblanc was the suspect captured on surveillance video inside the establishments.

On July 22, 2021, Leblanc was arrested by the Evesham Township Police Department.

Leblanc was lodged in the Burlington County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing next week.
