Hey, remember those guys who robbed a Capital One bank in Bay Ridge while they wore goblin masks? Well, the cops are still looking for them, and they just released a video of the pair.
According to the police, the robbery occurred on October 27. Two men entered the Capital One Bank at 7110 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn wearing the masks and latex gloves and, showing their guns, demanded money from the teller.
They fled in a silver/grey four-door car. One suspect is described as a white male, around 5'10", who was wearing a multi-colored shirt, dark jeans and white sneakers. The other suspect is described as a white male, 5'8", wearing a blue or grey shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers. And they were wearing masks:
