Richmond Station officers responded to a report of a robbery of a bank. When officers arrived on scene, the suspect had already fled the area. Officers ascertained that the suspect, described by the bank teller as a skinny male, approximately 20-30 years old, wearing a gray sweatshirt with the hood up and a blue surgical mask with tattoos on his neck, entered the bank and approached the teller.

“This is a robbery, give me $10,000 without a dye pack,” he said, while holding his hand underneath his sweatshirt feigning that he was concealing a firearm. The bank teller complied and handed over an unknown amount of U.S. currency.

The suspect then fled the scene on a bicycle.

Burglary, Attempted Forcible Entry: Third Avenue and Cornwall Street, June 20, 11:23 a.m.

Richmond Station officers responded to a 911 caller who reported seeing two people trying to pick a lock of a residential gate.

An officer arrived on scene and observed two subjects standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a metal entry gate. One of the subjects appeared to be reaching through the gate as the other stood close by obscuring the view. As the officer approached, both subjects swung around, and the officer could see a metal tool stuck in the gate near the lock. Both subjects were detained.

One of the subjects said they had a friend that lived in the apartment, and they were locked out.

However, when asked by the officer, they were unable to get the friend to come out to the location. Additionally, both subjects provided false identifying information. When their true identities were revealed, a computer inquiry turned up several warrants for their arrest.

Both subjects were arrested and booked for outstanding warrants, burglary, possession of burglary tools and various narcotics violations.
