Man in wheelchair caught on CCTV escaping from scene of bank robbery

Ability beyond disability is a blessing, so it should never be used in doing wrong things.

A wheelchair-bound robber, wearing a grey hoodie, went up to the counter and handed a note to the cashier demanding cash, then he rolls away from the bank after stealing more than $1,000.

A CCTV footage shows as he successfully escaped after the audacious theft at a branch of Santander, in New York.

According to reports, he did not show a weapon, although the contents of the note are also unknown. Customers were shocked by the unlikely thief.

Helen Karagiorgos, 45, a resident told the New York Daily News: "You really can’t trust anybody.

“If he’s not disabled, then he’s taking advantage of those who are by pretending. That’s wrong.”

While Matthew Basner added: “If this guy got away so easily, they could use better security."

The police are still hunting for the wheelchair-bound robber.
