A Chase Bank branch in Forest Hills was robbed Friday afternoon.

A man entered the 118-30 Queens Blvd. bank at around 4:40 p.m. April 1 and passed the teller a note demanding cash.

The teller, a 31-year-old woman, complied in fear for her safety and provided the suspect with an undisclosed amount of cash. The man then fled the bank on foot in an unknown direction.

There were no injuries reported.

The suspect is described as having a light complexion, with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a red cap, blue jeans, a beige jacket, a black hooded sweatshirt and a surgical mask.

The police have released a photo of the suspect. Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
