WANTED: Man with weak chin and vast wardrobe. The police should check the subway cameras….each robbery was 1-2 blocks from a subway entrance (despite the bike helmet in one).

Sounds like he’s focused on those two banks, hope they beef up their security.

Re: “passed a note that demanded money and suggested that he was armed.”

HOPEFULLY, el bandito used correct spelling and did not copy the bank robber in Woody Allen’s great “Take the Money and Run”…specifically the “I have a GUB” shtick!
