Coppers are on the prowl for a villain of ritz and class who did indeed (allegedly) spy on a little old lady as she used an ATM at Kings Highway’s HSBC Bank, ultimately employing the ill-gotten information to steal $500 – presumably for more fresh threads and fly braids.

According to officials, the suspect entered the 1602 Kings Highway bank on Sunday, November 9, at 3:30pm. He took his place in line behind a 67-year-old woman, then, without scruples or true cunning, peered over her shoulder as she entered her pin number. Hobbled, perhaps, by faith in society due to her attachment to a bygone era, when such things could be done without the expectation of malice, our tragic victim did not log off the ATM upon finishing her transaction. The suspect put in the PIN and withdrew $500 in cash.

The suspect is described as a black man, approximately 6’0″, weighing 170lbs and with braided hair. Also, of rakish conceit.
