- Earlier Report: Helmet-Wearing Woman Flees After Yaphank Bank Robbery Attempt
The woman, who was wearing a facemask and a motorcycle helmet, slid a note to the teller demanding cash but took off on a waiting motorcycle when the teller refused to comply.
Hours later, police were made aware of a second incident, this time just 11 miles away at the TD Bank on Portion Road in Lake Ronkonkoma.
At approximately 3 p.m., the woman – again wearing a facemask and motorcycle helmet – handed a note to the TD Bank teller demanding cash.
This time, the teller complied.
She took the money and hopped onto the back of a waiting motorcycle, which police say traveled westbound on Portion Road.
Detectives again urge anyone with information regarding either of the incidents to contact the Major Case Unit at 631-852-6555.
Alternatively, anonymous calls can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
