Serial bank robber strikes again?
Suspected bank robber Joseph DiFalco is wanted yet again — this time for a robbery in Mayfair.
A man whom police believe to DiFalco entered the M&T Bank branch on the 7100-block of Frankford Avenue around 9 a.m. yesterday and slipped a threatening note demanding cash to a teller.
The South Philly native is believed to be living in the Northeast, and he’s wanted for the following robberies/holdups:
- Wachovia Bank at 2227 South Broad St. on July 23
- Citizens Bank at 10650 Bustleton Ave. on July 26
- Conestoga Bank at 2444 South Broad St. on Aug. 2
- CitiBank at 2118 Cottman Ave. on, Aug. 14
This time around, DiFalco wore a white baseball hat, a dark T-shirt over a long-sleeve gray shirt, denim shorts and dark sneakers. He is described as being 5-feet, 3-inches tall and weighs 130 pounds with a thin beard, short hair and prominent tattoos on his forearms.
Anyone with information is urged to call the FBI at 215-418-4000.
