An alleged thief Chi Ngo in New York has robbed another bank just one day after getting released in a previous heist in a Manhattan bank.

A 52-year-old man has been arrested on charges of pulling off the robberies at two separate Chase Banks, New York Post reported after citing court documents. It was learnt that Ngo had been arrested on Tuesday after allegedly swiping $2,300 in cash from a Chase on Canal Street.

After getting released on Wednesday following the approval of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, Ngo was arrested again on Thursday by local police for an alleged bank heist at a Chase Bank on Fifth Avenue near West 44th Street.

It added that the police officials have arrested the accused while possessing a hammer and box cutter.

According to court records, Ngo was charged with third-degree robbery, a felony, criminal possession of a weapon and possession of burglar’s tools.
