Terrible place for a picture of the suspect. At first, it looks like a billboard so you don’t notice it. Add some white outline to his picture or move it to a different spot so that it can be helpful to people who read this article.
Astoria Federal was there for years and nothing ever happened there.
Since this bank was in the process of being built all I ever said was how stupid do u have to be to have a bank right by a exit and entrance of a highway this is the second time in 4 years that it’s been robbed smh good luck finding this person
