Police hunt bank robber caught on camera putting his finger to his lips to quieten hysterical teller after slipping her a note saying he would kill customers

Monday, May 20th, 2013

Security camera footage captures the chilling moment a bank robber held his finger to his lips to try to silence a terrified bank teller.

In a note handed to the Bank of America employee in New York City, the well-dressed thief threatened to kill everyone unless the clerk handed over the money.

His plan backfired however, when the woman who is in her 20s, started yelling Oh, my God!’ as she read the note that was scrawled in black marker pen.

As the worker screamed, the robber held his finger up to his lips, telling her: ‘Shhhh.’

But the teller continued to scream and ran for cover under a desk at the other end of the bank on Third Avenue.

‘She was legitimately scared,” a law-enforcement official told the New York Post. ‘The guy caught her off guard, and she freaked out.’ (more…)
