Brooklyn Bank Robber Strikes Twice On Valentine's Day, Police Say

FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — A bank robber who has been terrorizing tellers across the borough for at least six weeks struck in Flatbush and Park Slope on Valentine’s Day, according to police.

The bank robber used a note to demand cash from a teller at the Citibank on Nostrand and Newkirk avenues around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, but left empty handed, police said.

He had better luck at the M&T Bank on Flatbush Avenue and St. Johns Place, where he stole $1,110 in cash around 3:05 p.m., said police.

This brings the bank robber’s tally up to seven heists in the past six weeks, said police.

He and a female accomplice have held up banks in Carroll Gardens, downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope and now Flatbush, said police.

It is unclear how much money the note-passing bank robber has stolen, police said.
