STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Shortly after a man robbed a Northfield bank in Grasmere, a second bank location just feet away was targeted, police said.
The first incident occurred at the Northfield Bank branch located at 1158 Hylan Boulevard at around 2:36 p.m., according to an NYPD spokesman, when a man entered the location and passed the teller a note demanding money.
The teller complied, police said, and the man left the location on foot with approximately $3,000.
The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit and multiple patrol cars were summoned to the scene shortly afterwards. The bank and the drive-thru were both closed after the police response.

Minutes later, an unknown perpetrator walked into Richmond County Savings Bank at 1100 Hylan Boulevard — located just a few hundred feet away from the Northfield Bank — and passed a note to the teller that threatened of a firearm while demanding cash in 20 and 10 dollar bills, according to police.
It was not immediately clear if a firearm was displayed.
The teller at that location did not comply, police said, and told the man to leave the location.
Earlier, preliminary information indicated that the man who robbed the Northfield bank was wearing a red sweater. Police said the individual seen attempting to rob the Richmond County Savings Bank was also wearing a red sweater. It was not immediately clear if they were the same individual.
The NYPD investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made.
