Apple Bank Robbed – Again

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — For the second time in four months the Crown Heights branch of Apple Bank was robbed. The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspect, described as a black man, passed a note to the teller demanding money. The teller gave an undisclosed amount of cash along with a dye-pack which exploded as he left the bank, one of the shopkeepers told police that he saw a man running with red smoke coming from him.

Police responded approximately 10 to 15 minutes after the incident and are investigating.

This marks that second time this bank branch has been robbed. In the last incident, which occurred in February, a man pointed a gun at the teller.

    “…black man, passed a note to the teller demanding money.”

    I don’t believe it, he couldn’t of been black. ;-(

    “Police responded approximately 10 to 15 minutes”

    If it takes that long for them to respond to a BANK ROBBERY, think how long it will take them to respond when you need help.

    there is so much crime because nobody is dealing with all the dysfunctional families in certain parts of cr hts. so many public school kids needs not being met, and they’re all going criminal. they better decide to be responsible about this neighborhood

    Only in new York: Actually, 15 minutes is a good response time–one just has to hope that it is not a real emergency then the police will not arrive in time so you have to protect yourself

    I bet the perp’s name is Rob. Rob Applebank. We need to tell the authorities! But I wouldn’t bank on him being caught. Shmucks.

    # 8 needs to stop making assumptions. There are hard working and nice people working within the branch. To that extent, just because most of the staff are of a non-Jewish persuasion does not mean that they have intentions of developing a criminal enterprise. They are licensed and bonded working class people who are making an honest living which does not allow them to qualify for most of the government benefits that their counterparts receive. That is the real inside job. The thieves of the system milking the State’s Medicaid and Food Stamp Dollars while driving around in luxury cars and residing in nearly million dollar homes.
