A bank was robbed in Brentwood on Thursday by the same man who robbed a Bohemia bank last week, Suffolk police said.
A man entered the Chase Bank branch on Brentwood Road, approached a teller with a note demanding cash and threatening to shoot if the teller did not comply at 10:50 a.m., according to Major Case Investigations Unit detectives. The teller gave the robber cash from the drawer before the robber fled the bank, police said.

The suspect is described as a black man in his mid to late 20s, 5’9” to 5’10” tall with a thin to medium build. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a black baseball cap, yellow long-sleeved rain jacket, blue jeans and black sneakers or shoes. He was carrying a black backpack.
The photo to the right is from the Bohemia bank robbery. In the surveillance photographs from both robberies, the robber has dreadlocks but it is believed to be a wig.
On Oct. 8, the Bank of America branch on Sunrise Highway in Bohemia was robbed by the same person, police said. In that robbery, the robber threatened that he had a bomb.
