In Brooklyn, Suspect Robs 3 Banks in 30 Minutes

[alp227]

A robber in a hurry struck at three banks along a stretch of Kings Highway in Brooklyn in a span of about 30 minutes on Friday afternoon, the police said.

In the first and third robberies, tellers handed over cash to the robber, the police said, but he left empty-handed in the second encounter.

The police do not believe that the man displayed a weapon, though they were still gathering information late Friday afternoon.

The mini-crime wave began at around 2:15 p.m., when the robber entered a branch of the Apple Bank at 1321 Kings Highway. He handed a teller a note, was given some money and left, the police said.

1. That's nothin - there's some people on Wall Street

Who rob banks all day long every day. And what makes it even more amazing is that they are the managers of the banks.

They steal more in a second than this guy got for all his work.

2. Don't do this at home... bank

Walked into the bank and handed the teller a note.

Said: I am handing you this note and i want cash.

It was a check drawn on that bank. But she almost freaked at first.

9. The banks are all within a 4 block radius. He could've stopped for chinese food

sat down, and ate some egg rolls in between stops.
