An alleged bank robber brought shame upon a great football team by robbing an Upper West Side Chase bank in a Giants sweatshirt on Friday. Police sent out the following information and the surveillance photo above.

It was reported to police that on Friday, December 9, 2016 at 1205 hours at a Chase Bank located at 2438 Broadway, an unidentified male entered and handed to the teller a note that demanded money. The teller complied, and the unidentified male exited the location with an undetermined sum of cash. He fled on foot northbound on Broadway and then eastbound on West 90th Street.

The unidentified male is white and in his 30s. He is 5’10” with a medium build and was wearing a winter hat, sunglasses, pink gloves and a blue Giants hooded sweatshirt with the hood over his head.

Surveillance photos are attached and available at DCPI. They show the unidentified male inside of the incident location.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Of course, in America, you are innocent until proven guilty. But, why should that matter to you?

My comment is merely a remark on semantics; in this instance, the adjective seems inappropriate—the robbery obviously occurred; unless it’s alleged that it didn’t.

If the perpetrator is caught it would then be proper to report, “John Doe, the alleged bank robber.”

This kind of looks like the guy who wore many different hats in the other bank robbery posts

Each and every time hear of these sort of bank heist wonder just how someone just “walks” out of a bank afterwards. Bank employees must be like retail and told not to intervene or say anything.

WEHT putting dye packs in bags along with the loot?

Furthermore just looking at the pictures it is obvious the guy was suspect.

It is not *THAT* cold outside to have on a hat, hoodie up, *and* wearing gloves. These things along with the sun glasses just set off *Danger, Will Robinson* warnings IMHO.

Re: “The unidentified male… was wearing … pink gloves….”

1)Unidentfied male would be “the UnSub” to fans of Criminal Minds”(and isn’t J.J. looking even more beautiful in recent episodes?); and

2) any male wearing pink gloves has GOT to be pretty confident with his gender identification…unless he also stole those.

The Giants sweatshirt and pink gloves may be worn to fool the profilers. I am thinking he is a Patriots fan whom is homophobic can I collect the reward now?
