Roosevelt Island Public Safety Director Keith Guerra reports that one of his officers was responsible for capturing a suspected bank robber. According to Mr. Guerra:

On April 23, 2008, a Capitol One Branch, in Manhattan, was robbed by a black male, who passed a note to a teller. The man exited the bank with almost $3,000.00 in cash and fled on foot. A civilian entering the Tramway entrance in Manhattan phoned 911 about a suspicious male. The description of that man matched the description of the man who robbed the bank. He then boarded the Tram toward Roosevelt Island. NYPD detectives from the Major Case Squad relayed information to our Agency and, a day later, a suspect fitting the description was apprehended by Lt. Yee. He was turned over to the case detectives and arraigned on Bank Robbery charges.

Lt. Yee received a commendation from the 19th precinct community council. Who needs Dirty Harry when Roosevelt Island has Lt. Yee.
