Brooklyn Tellers Keep Refusing To Help Aspiring Bank Robber: NYPD

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — A down-on-his-luck bank robber has twice tried to hold up Brooklyn banks, but tellers keep telling him no and walking away, according to police.

The non-threatening thief first tried to rob the Bank of America branch at 386 Knickerbocker Ave. on Tuesday around 10 a.m., police said.

When the man passed a teller his written demand for money, the teller refused and walked away from her station, and he left empty-handed, police said.

The would-be bank robber struck next at the Chase Bank at 402 Myrtle Ave. on Wednesday around 4:45 p.m., but with little success, said police.

Once again, he passed a teller a note demanding money, once again, the teller refused and, once again, the robber fled without any cash to show for his efforts, said police.

Police describe the robber as a slim man in his 40s, standing about 5-foot 7-inches, wearing a blue hoodie and jeans.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact police.
