Officers from the New Rochelle Police Department responded to Chase Bank on North Avenue at 9:48 a.m. on Thursday, May 20, where there was a report of a robbery in progress, Police Capt. Cosmo Costa said.
According to Costa, the investigation determined that New Rochelle resident Mary Thompson, 56, handed the teller a note that stated “give me $100,000 I have a gun.”
The teller then proceeded to turn over approximately $7,000 to Thompson, who fled the bank on foot.
Investigators quickly tracked down Thompson outside the bank and she was arrested without incident. Thompson was charged with first-degree robbery and scheduled to be arraigned later in the day on Thursday afternoon.
