DALLAS (AP) - Two men must each serve 115 years in federal prison for robbing five Dallas-area fast-food restaurants in 2014.

Jesse Lee Bell of Duncanville and Deundrae Lyndell Miller of Mesquite were sentenced Monday in Dallas.

Bell and Miller last July were convicted of four counts of interference with commerce by robbery, one count of attempted interference with commerce by robbery and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Both were also convicted of five counts of using, carrying, and brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a violent crime.

The holdups happened in June 2014 in Duncanville, DeSoto, Mesquite and Dallas. The men were nabbed while fleeing after the final robbery.

Bell is 33 years old. Miller is 24. Authorities didn't immediately provide their criminal histories.
