The first case was in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx. At around 4:50 pm on March 14, the suspect walked into the TD Bank at 3755 East Tremont and handed the teller a note. The letter stated the man had a gun and demanded money. The teller handed over $700 in cash and the thief fled. 


The next robbery was at a TD Bank in Harlem. At around 10:31 am on March 17, the suspect walked into the bank at 2144 3rd Avenue. He handed the teller a note that stated he had a gun and demanded cash. In this case the bandit made off with $650 in cash. 


The most recent case occurred this week on the Upper East Side. At around 1:23 pm on March 21, the bandit struck the TD Bank at 953 3rd Avenue. Once again the robber handed the teller a note stating he had a gun and to turn over cash. He fled with $1,265. 


The NYPD released surveillance video taken from subway stations following the Harlem and Upper East Side robberies. 


The suspect is described as a male with a light skin complexion. He is 5 foot 10, 175 pounds and was last seen wearing a gray sweater, gray pants and blue surgical mask around the lower portion of his face.
