NYPD<\/p>\n
The NYPD<\/a> is on the hunt for a suspect linked to a string of bank robberies at Chase<\/a> locations across the city this month, who got away with less than $1,000 in total.\u00a0<\/p>\n The suspect has been identified as 33-year-old Gustavo DeJesus Torres. Police released a photo and video of DeJesus Torres on March 18, just one day after his latest alleged heist.\u00a0<\/p>\n The suspect\u2019s alleged crime spree began in Queens on March 13 at around 12:30 p.m. when he hit Chase Bank at 24-16 Queens Plaza South. Using a written note, he demanded money from a teller \u2014 but cops said he got away with nothing.<\/p>\n Just 30 minutes later, he tried again, police said. Torres walked into another Chase, located at 37-67 75 St. in Jackson Heights, passed a note to a teller demanding money and was able to snag around $320. He immediately fled on foot from the location to parts unknown.\u00a0<\/p>\n The suspect went back to work the next day, March 14, at around 12:30 p.m., when he entered a third Chase branch at 1462 Nostrand Ave. in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Using the note method, police said, he obtained around $265 before fleeing the location on foot to parts unknown.\u00a0<\/p>\n On St. Patrick\u2019s Day, the crook got his own mini pot of gold in Manhattan<\/a>, when he passed a note to a Chase teller at 55 West 125th St. in Harlem just after 10 a.m. on March 17, demanding money again. He obtained a mere $20 before scurrying away from the location on foot to parts unknown, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Law enforcement sources said Torres made two more unsuccessful attempts to grab cash from Chase branches in Brooklyn and the Bronx on March 14 and March 17, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n There were no reported injuries at any of the robberies, police said.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Torres is well-known to law enforcement in NYC. Police said he was arrested last month for allegedly robbing a bank in Midtown in 2024. It is unclear at this time why Torres was released after his arrest.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anyone with information regarding these incidents or the suspect\u2019s whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA).
