A young Phoenixville mother, who in October was reported missing by her family, this week was indicted on federal charges of felony bank robbery.

Kenneally was arrested in November in connection with the bank robberies, Patch reported. She remains in Montgomery County Prison, having been unable to post bail, Philadelphia Magazine reported.

Kenneally, 25, was reported missing by her family in October, The Philadelphia Inquirer said, leading to a social-media campaign for information leading to her whereabouts.

However, after seeing reports that she was missing, Kenneally reached out to The Pottstown Mercury, telling them “she was not missing but did not desire to return to her family, The Mercury reported.

Kenneally and her boyfriend, Christopher LeBlanc, 40, of Norristown, were taken into custody Nov. 4 at a Delaware motel, hours after police said they robbed a Citizens Bank in West Goshen Township, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

The pair are also accused of robbing a Citizens Bank in Audubon Township on Oct. 28 and a PNC Bank in East Goshen Township on Oct. 31, Philadelphia Magazine said.

All told, the pair stole $5,392, The Inquirer said.

Kenneally had dropped her young son off with a relative before disappearing in October, The Pottstown Mercury said. In a social-media post, Kenneally’s mother seemed to imply that an addiction was to blame, Philly Mag said.
