MANHATTAN — Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying and locating a suspect wanted in connection with robbing an Upper East Side Capital One branch — two times in one week.
The first incident at the Capital One at 1512 Second Ave. occurred on Friday, Dec. 17 around 1:40 p.m.
The man struck again just six days later around 3 p.m. In both the Dec. 17 and 23 incidents, the suspect presented his demand note to a teller and fled the branch with an unspecified amount of cash, NYPD officials said.
Police described the suspect as a man in his 40s, nearly 6-feet-tall, last seen wearing a three-quarter length black leather jacket, a white or gray shirt and dark pants.
Anyone with information in regards to these incidents is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
