But Will His Downfall Be His Girth Or The Cutoff Jeans? Perhaps The Latter!

This bank robber is working from a distinct disadvantage:

A beefy bank robber who made off with $3,800 from heists in Tottenville a week ago and Westerleigh on Tuesday is still being sought by police.

The bandit — described as 6 feet tall and weighing more than 300 pounds and 26 to 31 years old — hit the SI Bank & Trust branch at 6975 Amboy Rd. on May 19 and the Richmond County Savings Bank branch at 832 Jewett Ave. on Tuesday afternoon.

In Tottenville, he handed the teller a note and walked out with $1,300.

On Tuesday, the thief entered the Richmond County Savings Bank dressed in jeans cut off at the knee, white sneakers, a gray hooded sweatshirt and a black and white baseball cap.
