Lede of the day<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Save the bad teeth and skin, he’s not so different from most patrons of Commerce Bank.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which is to say:<\/p>\n

He walks in, asks the teller for money. The teller hands him the cash, and he walks out.<\/p>\n

There’s only one small problem: It’s not his money.<\/p>\n

“He’s as crooked as his teeth,” said a veteran cop of the brazen bandit who held up the Commerce branch at 929 Huguenot Ave. shortly after 11 a.m. yesterday. The same slim shady is wanted for holding up a Commerce Bank in Bulls Head on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s take in Huguenot was $1,300. The January job netted an “undetermined amount of money.”<\/p>\n

In that case, the robber — described by cops as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and slim, in his 20s or 30s, with a prominent nose, acne-scarred skin and crooked teeth — walked into the bank branch at 1837 Richmond Ave. with a stun gun under his arm, passed a teller a note, and left.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, no note was passed. The suspect was holding a “metal object,” possibly the stun gun, although the teller told police it looked like a computer microphone.<\/p>\n

“He lays out a newspaper, says ‘Put the money in the newspaper.’ The teller complies and the bad guy walks out,” the veteran cop said, noting that the suspect, who made his demand through clenched teeth, was last spotted walking along Huguenot Avenue toward Hylan Boulevard.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
