If only all bank robbers were so considerate, the police would have an easier time of it.
The New York City police announced this afternoon that they are searching for one Cory L. Brown, a 26-year-old homeless man who has been staying in a shelter in Brooklyn, for robbing about $3,800 from two banks over the weekend.
In the first robbery, the robber went up to a teller’s window at a Wachovia Bank at 731 Lexington Avenue, between East 58th and 59th Streets, at 10:40 a.m. Saturday, detectives said. According to the police, he put a flat plastic box on the counter and handed over a lined white sheet of paper with handwriting demanding “stacks” of $50 and $100 notes and suggesting that a bomb would detonate in “10 seconds” if the money was not turned over or if any alarms were set off. The robber made off with $1,400, police said.
At 3:14 p.m. on Sunday, the police said, a robber entered a Commerce Bank at 260 West 26th Street in Chelsea and passed a note to the teller and demanded money: “Think. Stack of $100s. Stack of $50s. No arms, no heroes.” He also showed a drawing of a gun that he had made on a Lotto ticket. After the teller handed over about $2,400, the police said, the robber fled west on West 26th Street. He stopped on the sidewalk a short distance away, outside a building at 233 West 26th Street, to change out of a gray sweatshirt, a black bandanna, a pair of glasses, a black wool cap and latex gloves.
Inside the clothing, according to Detective Michael Dorto of the Major Case Squad, the police found Mr. Brown’s wallet and personal identification: birth certificate, a welfare benefits card, a pay stub with his name on it, a MetroCard, a Social Security card, a resident-identification card from a homeless shelter, among other forms of identification.
Video recordings at the second bank matched the robber on the tape to Mr. Brown’s photo on his identification, and the methodology and notes used in both robberies were practically identical, leading investigators to believe Mr. Brown committed both crimes, Mr. Dorto said.
