Thieves targeted Maspeth Savings Bank in a daring robbery involving the construction of a privacy scaffold on the roof, cutting a hole to gain entry.
The criminals, suspected to be part of a group of Albanian men linked to nine similar bank heists, expertly disabled video cameras during the Rego Park bank robbery. The bank assured that all safety deposit boxes, seen on the rooftop, were insured. However, the exact number of breached boxes and their owners is yet to be determined.
Maspeth Federal Savings plans to contact affected customers for appointments to review stolen contents and file insurance claims, while reassuring the majority of unbreached boxes. Some customers expressed frustration and anxiety over the situation.
Investigations are ongoing, and the bank aims to resume normal operations soon.
