An armed robber dressed in a postal uniform delivered stickup notes to tellers at two Queens banks Monday morning and picked up $3,000, police said.
The first stop on his route was 9 a.m. at a Capital One bank on 164th St. in Utopia, where he gave the terrified teller a note and displayed a handgun in his waistband, cops said.
He then hit up another Capital One bank a mile and a half away on Main St. in Kew Gardens Hills just 10 minutes later, making off with more dough for a total of $3,000 from both.
The second bank sits across the street from a post office.
Police are trying to determine if a third armed bank robbery is the work of the same man.
An Astoria Federal Savings Bank on Hillside Ave. in Jamaica was held up about 11:19 a.m.
A robber in a button-down blue shirt displayed a firearm wrapped in a newspaper, cops said. A dye pack hidden in the $1,000 he stole exploded, according to police sources.
There have been no arrests.

So for $4000 which he probably won’t be able to spend, he’ll spend an incredible amount of time in prison. If you want to rob banks, one really needs a JD or and MBA, or perhaps a PhD in Economics, and you can get millions and manage to be considered a respectable member of society.

Boring again.
First of all, only $1000 was ruined
And second of all, boring comment.
Please don’t feel you have to comment on every article. Save some of them for the weekly kiddush. I’m sure your other captive audience is captivated by your whit.
Hmmmmm…so he stole $3,000 at the first bank, made off with ‘more dough’ at the second bank, for a total of $3,000.00. Maybe its me but somehow this math is just not adding up…
