TD Bank in Plainview Robbed, Suspect Flees

UPDATE: Man passes note to teller; leaves with cash; probe underway

Nassau County Police are investigating a bank robbery at the TD Bank Branch on Old Country Road Thursday afternoon.

Police were alerted to the robbery at the corner of Old Country and South Oyster Bay Road about 3 p.m. Thursday. Bank officials reported a man approached a teller and passed a note demanding cash.

No weapon was observed, police said.

The teller complied and the man fled.

Detectives describe the man as white, 45 to 55 years of age, 5’ 7” wearing a green hooded jacket, gray mouton hat, glasses, jeans and sneakers.

Police said nine bank employees were in the bank at the time of the incident, and no customers. The suspect fled on foot through the parking lot eastbound behind the bank. No injuries were reported.

Detectives ask anyone with information about this incident to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.  All callers will remain anonymous. 

The same bank branch was hit by a robbery in May, 2011.

The definition of STOP in the driving world is " the complete cessation of movement".Read More Sound like many people think STOP signs mean 1. Slow To Observe Police or 2. Slightly Touch On (brake) pedal. Time to go to traffic school online at www.oltep.com. Relearn what you forgot from Driver's Ed. Stay Safe

Stop means stop. Just like stop signs, where it seems like the local definition is to slow down toRead More 30 mph. You STOP, and look. Then go. I have seen kids having a tough time crossing Jamaica Ave because of this twisted definition of STOP. If anything, this is a good way to relearn what should of been taught in drivers ed. When I moved to Plainview, people at a stop sign would signal the driver that got there first to go. Now it's a race to the stop sign and fly by it to avoid having the other guy go first.
