An attempted heist at a Murray Hill bank last week was thwarted by an inquisitive teller.
Police from the 109th Precinct are looking for a man who entered the Chase bank at 35-36 154th St. at around 2:20 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 26, approached a teller and passed a note demanding money, police said.
When another teller walked over to read the note, the suspect took off on foot in an unknown direction empty-handed.
Police described the man as an adult man in his 30s, 5’9” tall and 230 pounds with black hair. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants, dark shoes, eyeglasses, a white face mask and he was carrying a dark-colored book bag.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
