According to the Nassau County Police Department, a man entered the Roslyn Savings Bank, at 50 Hempstead Turnpike, at 2:40 p.m. on Monday, May 16, and ordered a teller to hand over money. The teller complied by passing him an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect, described as a black male, about 40, 6 feet 2 inches tall, with a slim build and a mustache, left the bank through a rear door. He was wearing a baseball cap and a light-colored shirt, and carried a black plastic shopping bag.

Neither police nor bank employees would comment on the amount of money taken. Tellers declined to be interviewed, and referred inquiries to the Roslyn Savings Bank's corporate offices. Calls placed to the corporate offices were not returned.
