Duo robs bank with team work
A man and a woman approached two different tellers at the same time during a bank robbery on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
At the Roslyn Savings Bank on Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station, the pair entered at 1:40 p.m. and each approached a different employee, handing them notes demanding cash, police said. Those tellers complied and the suspects fled on foot with their loot, going north on Longfellow Drive.
Police described both suspects as black, the man between 20 and 25 years old and the woman 30 to 35 years old. The man was 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build, and was wearing a ski hat, a scarf, a gray hoodie and white pants. The woman, who was heavyset, was between 5 feet and 5 feet 3 inches tall, and was wearing a ski hat, a gray hoodie and earmuffs covering the bottom half of her face.
