Police are on the lookout for a serial bank robber believed to have struck twice in Brooklyn and once in The Bronx this year alone.
His most recent sighting was at the Investors branch on Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn at 2:20 p.m. Jan. 28, when he passed a teller a note but fled empty handed.
Earlier that day, he allegedly did the same thing at the Popular Community branch on Third Avenue near East 151st Street in Melrose in The Bronx, leaving that bank, too, without any money.
He had more luck last month at the Carver Federal Savings branch in Fort Greene, where he scored an undisclosed amount of cash, authorities said.
Police described him as a white male in his 30s, 5-foot-8 to 6 feet tall and 160 to 180 pounds with a scar or cut over his left eye.
