UPPER EAST SIDE — The dapper bank robber has struck again.

The thief, noted for his fashion style, hit his eighth bank since March this week, police said.

The suspect walked into an HSBC Bank at 1165 Third Ave., at East 68th Street, on Monday at 3:53 p.m. and passed a note demanding money, police said.

The teller complied and he left the store with cash, but police don't know how much.

Most recently he robbed another HSBC at 45 E. 89th St., near Madison Avenue, on July 8.

HSBC did not immediately return a request for comment on Thursday.

Police said the thief, who has given police quite a fashion show on surveillance footage with fedoras, scarves and a helmet, among other items, has been spotted in locations across the borough since his first sighting on March 8, when he similarly handed a note to a Santander Bank teller at 250 Lexington Ave. and stole more than $2,000.
