NYPD looks for suspected bank robber

FLUSHING — Police were looking for a man in connection with a string of eight bank robberies across the city over the last two months.

In every incident the suspect entered banks and demanded money before fleeing, police said.

The second most recent robbery in the string was at Flushing Savings Bank on Roosevelt Avenue March 10, according to cops.

Authorities believe the suspect struck again more than two weeks later at the Popular Community Bank in Manhattan, police said.

Police described the suspect as black, 25 years old, 5-foot-9 and weighing 160 pounds.

Those with information should contact NYPD’s Crimestoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), visiting its website or texting 274637 (CRIMES) and entering TIP577.
