MIDTOWN — A bank robber passed a teller a note reading, “Give me your f---ing money or I’ll shoot you” before making off with an unknown amount of cash, police said.
The 55-year-old female teller was working at the Santander Bank at 1290 Sixth Ave., between West 51st and 52nd streets, at about 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 21 when a man entered the bank, came up to her window and showed her the note, she told police.
The teller handed the robber a stack of bills with a concealed dye pack, but the man threw the pack back at the teller, police said.
“I don’t want the f---ing dye pack — give me the large 100s and 50s,” he said, according to police.
After the teller handed over an unspecified amount of cash, the man asked for more money, but the teller told him she didn’t have any, police said.
The robber then fled the bank and ran north on Sixth Avenue, according to police.
A Santander spokeswoman on Thursday said the bank was “grateful that [its] customers and colleagues were not injured during last week’s robbery.”
She declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation.
