NYC Man Tries To Rob Hoboken Bank Using Note, Police Say

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Hoboken police charged a 30-year-old New York City man with robbery and terroristic threats on Friday after, they say, he gave a note to a bank teller demanding money that morning.

Police say that the Hoboken Police Department received information from the Jersey City Police Department about a bank robbery near the border, at TD Bank at 47 Newark St. The bank is also a block from the Hoboken train station.

Someone told the police that a man entered the bank, handed the teller a note, and demanded money be placed in a bag. He then demanded the same of two other tellers, police say.

No weapon was used, police say.

Police were given a description and direction for the man. Police Officer Ramon Calderon saw a man fitting the description a few blocks away at Second and Hudson streets (which also happens to be where the police station is). Multiple police responded.

They investigated and placed Everton Gunter, 30, from New York City under arrest.

Detective Ryan Houghton and Police Officer Christopher Barral processed Gunter. Detective Michael Miranda charged him with robbery and terroristic threats.
