Police are looking for a Hispanic or Black man, 5’9″-6’01”, between 20-30 years old in connection with 15 bank robberies that have occurred in Brooklyn and Queens since last December.
The thief wears a hat or baseball cap, a scarf or bandanna, sunglasses, various types of gloves, a hooded outer garment, various pants or jeans, and work boots, according to authorities.

#1= BRING BACK GULIANI. Crime has never yet gone up so high in this neighborhood. Our police dept are doing a dispiccable job under the communist leadership of bloombugs. NY is becoming unsafer by the day. Vote bloomy out and bring back bring Guliani. He was a mayor for his people and not for his ego like bloombugs. After 15 incidents in one neighborhood and they still couldn’t catch him. why don’t they give him the spray with the money parcel. It worked well in BP on a bank robbery. Mind you if you look at his history He’s got some serious pick with chase bank. Chase bank should know better by now.
what would Willie Sutton say about this guy . go were the money is and that is the back rooms by the computers.
#1 agree
Guliani’s the man!
