The suspect who got away with $1,080 from the Chase branch on Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place Saturday afternoon is now also wanted in connection with two more bank robberies on Monday.
Per CBS New York:
Around 2:40 p.m. Monday, a robber walked into the Citibank branch at 1107 Broadway near Madison Square Park and handed a note to the teller demanding money, police said. The suspect made off with $600.
Around 3:20 p.m. Monday, the suspect walked into a Chase Bank branch at 835 Broadway near Union Square, and handed the teller a demand note, police said. The suspect made off with $4,740.
In total, he's made off with $6,420. (He's almost made his share of the rent!)
The NYPD released the following description of the suspect:
"white male (possibly albino), 5'10", mid to late 20s, light colored hair with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a black and grey jacket, dark rimmed glasses, black sneakers with a red bandana around his neck."
And now there's video of the rather uneventful robbery at Chase (via Gothamist)...
Anyone with information that could help in the investigation is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). You may also submit tips online.

ReplyDeletea distinctive looking person even the walk would be easy to recognize if one pays attention. I think freedom will not last long for this dude?
ReplyDeleteDon't Chase branches have security guards? How is this allowed to happen?

ReplyDelete$6420... Yeah, right, risk going to jail for 25 years for $6420...and by risk I mean a matter of time...
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how this still happens all the time. The tellers are behind bulletproof glass. Why don't they just hit the alarm and move out of the way or something?
ReplyDeleteThe protocol is to give the thief some money so they will leave in order to avoid a hostage situation or a shooting. It's cheaper to just give them the money than to repair bullet holes and pay off families of dead hostages.
ReplyDeleteWhere's a good guy with a gun when you need one?
ReplyDeleteOne "knocks over" a bank, not "knocks off."

ReplyDelete$6420 won't getting you even the cheapest shyster lawyer.
ReplyDeleteconsidering how we are being raped by our overlords, some idiot making off with 4k seems just pathetic. if he was in finance it would be 400m, not 4k.
ReplyDeleteDont worry hes robbing the bank not you. Citibank rapes the world anyway so.its stealing from the devil. No one was hurt so why inform on him. Hes gonna get popped if he keeps going though, that part is dumb. Think before you snith,.its a victimless crime!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very fast transaction.
