Office worker charged with five bank robberies
NEW YORK. An office worker, Smithson Smith, 47, was charged with five bank robberies and is believed to have robbed 13 more near his Manhattan office and Brooklyn home over two years. He passed threatening notes to tellers and stole over $73,000, while holding a steady job and a college degree with no prior record. Police said there was no sign of addiction or debts and his motive appeared to be inability to find affordable housing, with the family living in a $95-a-night Brooklyn motel.
