STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The NYPD is asking for the public’s help to identify the driver of a red truck who is sought for questioning in connection with an attempted robbery at a bank in Castleton Corners.

An individual entered the drive-thru of the Santander bank branch located at 1850 Victory Blvd. and passed two notes demanding money through a chute at the drive-up teller window on Tuesday at about 1:30 p.m., according to a statement from the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.

There was no money passed or removed and the individual fled the scene on Victory Boulevard in a red Ford truck, according to the statement.

The notes included an unfounded bomb threat, a police spokesman said on Tuesday.

The notes indicated that the man allegedly “placed a bomb” by the bank’s ATM — which is located inside of the building — earlier in the morning, and that “if he drives off with no bills, he will set it off in 15 seconds,” the police spokesman said after the incident.

The NYPD released surveillance images of a red truck and its driver, taken from cameras in the vicinity of the bank, who is sought for questioning in the incident.
