The U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada on Wednesday said a man who pleaded guilty to robbing six convenience stores in 2015 in Las Vegas was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Paul Daniel Loisel, 24, of Las Vegas, was sentenced after pleading guilty on Aug. 10 to five counts of interference with commerce by robbery and one count of discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, the Justice Department said in a statement.

According to the plea agreement, Loisel used a handgun to rob six convenience stores in Las Vegas between Nov. 22, 2015, and Dec. 16, 2015.
