NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD has identified a suspect in a bank robbery spree over the last week spanning locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
Gustavo DeJesus Torres, 33, was pegged by cops as a suspect in the robberies, which took place on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday.
Two crimes took place each day, with the suspect passing a note to a bank teller demanding money.
Police said that the strategy was only effective half the time, and the robber made off with about $600 between three successful robberies, and three attempted robberies.
He successfully made off with $320 from a Chase Bank in Jackson Heights on Friday, $265 from a Chase Bank in East Flatbush on Saturday and $20 from a Chase Bank in Harlem on Tuesday.
Police released surveillance footage and photos of Torres late Tuesday to aid their investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
