NYC financial institution thief stole $200,000
There were no withdrawal limits at this haywire ATM.
A brazen bandit has knocked off a Midtown TD Bank for $200,000 after he saw the ATM money storage compartment wide open and helped himself, police sources said.
The sticky-fingered suspect entered the TD Bank at 885 Sixth Ave. at West 33rd Street at 11:35 a.m. Friday, walked into the ATM area and saw that the drawers had been left open, the sources said.
The thief ran outside and returned with a black plastic bag and helped himself to the loot, the sources said.
The NYPD on Saturday confirmed the heist, saying the robber removed “two sleeves of money” from an “unlocked” ATM inside the bank.
The suspect, described as a black male, 5 foot 6, wearing red shorts and a black top, fled eastbound on West 32nd Street towards Broadway, police said.
There are no arrests and no one was injured, cops said.
