AIRMONT, NY – First Reported by Gerry Demarco of the Daily Voice NJ, early Tuesday morning the FBI, joined by Ramapo police officers arrested a 29-year-old man who they said robbed banks in Pomona, Park Ridge, NJ and elsewhere by claiming to have a bomb.
Yosef Ziegler was taken into custody in Airmont early Tuesday by a team of law enforcement officers and agents led by the bureau from the jurisdictions where the banks were robbed, federal authorities confirmed.
Ziegler is accused of making off with what investigators told the Daily Voice was $32,000 from an Oritani Bank branch on Kinderkamack Road in Park Ridge this past April after claiming to have a bomb in what looked like a pizza delivery bag.
“He ordered the bank’s tellers to go into the vault area and instructed one teller to put money in the bag,” the FBI said at the time.
Four months earlier, authorities said, he held up a Chase Bank branch in the Pacesetter Shopping Center on Route 202 in Pomona while carrying a box that he claimed contained explosives.
Authorities will be releasing more details. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE.
