A Harrisburg man was sentenced Tuesday to 77 for robbing the Brookwood Market in Harrisburg three separate times in 2016.

That 77-year sentence for Maurice L. Ross, 35, of Harrisburg, will be followed by five years supervised release under the sentence handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Yvette Kane, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

Kane also ordered Ross to pay restitution of $2,147 to Brookwood Mart and the convenience store clerk victims.

Ross was convicted in November 2018 of robbing the Brookwood Market on Dec. 8, 17 and 22 in 2016. Ross stole hundreds of dollars in cash and dozens of instant lottery tickets.

Surveillance camera footage at the time of the robberies was useless, as Ross was masked during each of the incidents, said U.S. Attorney David Freed in a news release.

Ross, however, gave detectives the information they needed when he cashed in lottery tickets at another convenience store before they were reported stolen, Freed said.

State lottery officials told Harrisburg police detectives where the tickets had been redeemed, and video footage from that store revealed a license plate that led police to Ross, Freed said. Detectives then found the pistol and disguise used in the robberies in Ross’ home.
