The Chase Bank branch at 47-11 Queens Blvd was robbed–yet again–last week.
Police said that a man entered the branch at about 2:10 p.m. Friday and passed a note to the teller demanding money. The teller complied and handed the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect fled the location in an unknown direction and there have been no arrests.
The branch has been the target of several robberies over the years.
The branch was robbed in September 2016, July 2014 and December 2010. There were also attempts made in June 2018 and February 2012.
The police were unable to provide a description of the suspect as to Friday’s robbery.

This is a disgrace. Why can’t they just catch the SOBs that are doing this. Its called cameras, catch these bastards. This is the location where the band KISS performed for the very first time. I believe it was once called Coventry and then changed its name to Popcorn.
The place KISS played was west of the bank 47-03. This has been bank since Willie Sutton was active.
Photo from 1950 here. But it was Sutton’s last big job.

Must be a inside job.. how you get robbed that many times.. They should just close, there’s literally another Chase bank aross the street..
Yes, crimes is up, but according to the NYPD is down. Let me tell you frankly that is incorrect.
That must’ve been one helluva note…
I heard the thief escaped on a bicycle
, maybe hes a progressive thief
“Progressive thief” is redundant.
Paul Manafort was a progressive?
The 108th precient is one of the most incompentent poilice stations in all of NYC.
This bank is in the 112th Precinct, isn’t it?
Bank needs to close and relocate get out of there if that an easy target to rob move!!!
“The police were unable to provide a description of the suspect as to Friday’s robbery. “ Looks like Detective Assy McGee is working this case
Anti-Irish bigotry is not welcome here.
