A man robbed the Citibank in Roslyn on Thursday night after ordering the bank’s employees to the floor at gunpoint, police said.
Police said a man described as a white male dressed in dark clothing, a hat, a long black beard and black hair entered the bank at 1075 Northern Boulevard at 5:50 p.m., displayed a handgun and ordered six employees to the floor.
The man then allegedly forced a female employee to open the door to the teller stations and remove an undisclosed amount of money.
The robber then fled on foot, police said.
Police said no customers were in the bank at the time of the robbery and that no injuries were reported.
The Nassau County Robbery Squad is conducting an investigation into the robbery, according to a news release.
The robbery is the second at the Northern Boulevard Citibank location in the last several months.
On June 14, a man who police described as a white male between 35 and 45 years old and between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 wearing a black and gray dreadlock wig, fake black beard, dark blue cargo hat, dark blue jacket, dark blue pants, black shoes and opaque latex gloves entered the bank at 5:50 p.m. armed with what appeared to be a uzi-type machine gun.
Police said the man confronted the bank’s employees at gunpoint and forced a manager to open a door to the teller’s area and then open several teller drawers before removing an undisclosed amount of money.
The man then fled the bank south on foot, though police said he was seen in a brown sedan prior to the robbery.
Nassau County Crime Stoppers offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information about the identity or whereabouts of the subject.
The two crimes were committed by subjects with matching descriptions and at the same time of day, though a police spokesman said it is too early in the investigation to determine if the robberies are connected.
