It was 11 months ago when brazen thieves [3]penetrated deep within the "safe" confines of Manhattan, and tried to rob a Chase Manhattan branch on 72nd and Columbus in the Upper West Side. It was unclear if the robbers were successful then, or if the bank even had any cash.
Moments ago, another bunch of just as brazen robbers has attempted to rob another Chase branch, this time on 6th Avenue and 18th street. According to the NY Scanner, the NYPD just called in a Level 1 mobilization to 611 6th Avenue, where thieves have struck yet again.

The branch in question is this one.
Perhaps the robers fled once they learned that under the coming NIRP regime, banks will not only not carry cash any more, but all paper banknotes will soon be made illegal.
