Three homeless pals have been busted in connection with a bevy of bank heists after sharp-eyed cops recognized them Tuesday from surveillance videos.
The officers noticed Anthony Flynn, 31, as he tried to rob the Apple Bank at 10 Downing St. in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday as his cohorts – Michael Sancinella, 42, and Derrick Olmo, 41 – were nearby, sources said.
The cops alerted the Major Case Squad, whose officers nabbed the three. They later incriminated one another during questioning and said they had acted in cahoots, sources said.
Olmo and Flynn go to the same homeless shelter on West 125th Street in Upper Manhattan, sources said. One of them met Sancinella at a methadone clinic.
Sancinella allegedly robbed three branches in just 30 minutes last week and used his bike as a getaway vehicle, cops said.
The Yankees-cap-wearing pedal pusher hit up six banks, making off with cash from only one of them — $1,200 from a Ponce DeLeon Bank on First Avenue at East 19th Street on Sept. 10.
The biking bandit went to the Chase bank on Fifth Avenue at East 27th Street at 9:37 a.m. Sept. 10, left his bike in the lobby and demanded cash, but left empty-handed, cops said.
Just three minutes later, he rode into a neighboring Chase bank on Park Avenue South at East 27th Street. Again, the teller turned him down. He then swung down to the Ponce DeLeon Bank eight blocks south, striking at 10:03 a.m. and leaving with the money, cops said.
The following day, he allegedly struck three more branches without his ride.
He demanded cash from a Valley National Bank on Fifth Avenue at West 30th Street, an Apple Bank on Seventh Avenue at West 33rd Street and a Capital One Bank on Third Avenue at 59th Street.
Olmo’s alleged spree began Sept. 4 at the Chase bank at 615 Eighth Ave., where he passed a teller a note about 12:40 p.m. and fled with $2,850, cops said.
On Sept. 8, he entered another Chase bank at 475 W. 23rd St. about 5 p.m. but bolted without money after passing a note to a teller, cops said.
The following day, he hit up an HSBC branch at 145 Fifth Ave. about 2:15 p.m. and made off with $1,992, police said.
The three were all charged with robbery.
