Police Looking for Another UWS Bank Robber

What’s with these bank robbers targeting the Upper West Side? Is it because we’ve got so many banks? Or are the banks here just ripe for the picking?

Just like in the robbery on 109th Street a couple of weeks ago, the suspect walked into a bank and handed the teller a note demanding money. He received an unknown amount of cash and then left on foot, police said. Once again, a camera caught it all, but the suspect is still on the loose.

This robbery happened at Citibank at Broadway between 85th and 86th Street on Wednesday at about 2 p.m., police said. No one was injured. The suspect is described as a 6′ white male in his 30’s with a mustache. He was wearing a black North Face hooded jacket, a green scarf, tan pants, and dark footwear.
