Police in Park Ridge got a call this time shortly…

FBI Offers Reward For 'Bomb Carrying' Bergen, Rockland Bank Robber
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a man who they said robbed banks in Park Ridge and Pomona earlier this year by claiming to have a bomb. In the most recent holdup, the robber made off with what authorities told Daily Voice was $32,000 from an Oritani Bank branch on Kinderkamack Road in Park Ridge on April 17 after claiming to have a bomb in what looked like a pizza delivery bag. “He ordered the bank’s tellers to go into the vault area and instructed one teller to put money in the bag,” the FBI said Thursday.

Bergen Prosecutor: Rockland Stalker's Bogus 'Active Shooter' Call Brings SWAT To Park Ridge

However, a senior law enforcement official told Daily Voice that the call was "unrelated...oddly" to the robbery at nearly the same time of an Oritani Bank bra…
