Bank robberies in New York have shot up 42% this year, with one midtown TD Bank hit an eye-popping four times, The New York Post reported.

There have been 135 bank heists through Oct. 23 compared to 95 during the same period in 2021, according to the NYPD.

A serial thief wearing a blue baseball cap walked into the branch on Oct. 20 and handed over a note saying “This is a bank robbery, I have a gun, open the drawer and pass me the money.” 

He did not display a weapon and fled with about $760, the NYPD said.

The same bearded robber is suspected in two of the other robberies at the branch as well as in 15 other heists in Queens and Manhattan at Chase, Citi, and Santander banks—walking away with a total of about $15,000, police said.

Nationwide in the US, the number of bank robberies fell from 2,440 in 2019 to 1,724 in 2021. The nationwide peak came in 1991 with 9,388 robberies.
