Newark<\/a><\/p>\n

By: Richard L. Smith\u00a0<\/p>\n

A man accused of carrying out a string of bank robberies across New York City has been arrested in Newark after weeks of evading law enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a statement released by the U.S. Marshals Service, 33-year-old Gustavo DeJesus-Torres was taken into custody following a coordinated investigation involving federal and local authorities.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials said DeJesus-Torres is believed to be responsible for a series of robberies targeting six Chase Bank locations across Queens, Brooklyn, Harlem, and the Bronx throughout the month of March.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities allege the suspect used a similar method in each incident, approaching bank tellers and passing written notes that threatened harm if his demands were not met.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DeJesus-Torres was apprehended in Newark by members of the New York\/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, working alongside the Newark Police Department\u2019s Fugitive Apprehension Team and detectives from the New York City Police Department.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Law enforcement officials said investigators were able to track him down after extensive surveillance efforts and by following multiple leads and tips from the public.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Acting U.S. Marshal Nicholas Ricigliano credited the arrest to detailed investigative work and strong interagency collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

DeJesus-Torres is now facing charges for violating the terms of his federal supervision, along with additional charges connected to the robbery spree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newark By: Richard L.
