The first incident dates back to Tuesday, June 2, 2009, at the Capital One Bank at 83-24 Queens Boulevard; three days later he hit the Chase Bank located at 96-19 101st Avenue; and on Saturday, June 13 the suspect held up the Capital One Bank located at 83-24 Queens Boulevard.

The next robbery was at the same bank on November 13; that same day the suspect hit the Valley National Bank located at 69-20 80th Street. Then, on December 3, the thief targeted the NY Commercial Bank located at 97-77 Queens Boulevard. On the 17 of December, he robbed the Sovereign Bank at 150-28 Union Turnpike; his latest hit was the same day, at the Apple Bank located at 102-29 Queens Boulevard.

Police say the suspect is a male black, between 30 and 35 years old, 5'7", 170 pounds, with a medium build. In all the cases, the suspect approaches a teller at the bank, hands over a demand note and then flees the location. There have been no reported injuries.
