Police are looking for a bank robber
who made off with nearly
$5,000 from a Ridgewood bank
earlier this month.
According to the authorities,
the unidentified man walked into
Chase Bank, located at 6067 Myrtle
Ave., around 10:55 a.m. on Tuesday,
April 6, and handed a bank teller a
note demanding cash.
The man then told the teller that
he had a gun, cops said.
The teller handed over $4,800
in cash and the robber fled in an
unknown direction, according to
the police.
No arrests have been made and
the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information in regard
to the identity of the suspect
is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime
