Police are still looking for the man they say robbed a senior citizen at a bank in Midwood on Nov. 9.

Police say the stealthy suspect peered over a 67-year-old woman’s shoulder as she typed her pin into an automated teller machine at a bank on Kings Highway between E. 16th and 17th Street at 3:30 pm. Authorities say when senior citizen left, she did not log out of her account so the suspect was able to reenter her pin. Police say he withdrew $500 from the victim’s account.

The suspect is 6-foot and weighs 170 pounds. He was wearing sunglasses and has braided hair.
