Cops: Duo Charged in Nearby Armed Bank Robbery

Two men, one with open warrants against him, were charged with robbing a Baldwin bank at gunpoint, according to Nassau County Police.

Robbery Squad detectives said Isaiah Hunter, 20, and Essix Robinson, 21, both of Hempstead, robbed a Bank of America on Grand Avenue in Baldwin Monday afternoon.

At 2:42 p.m., the duo entered the bank where Hunter displayed a gun and ordered two employees and eight customers to the ground, cops said. Robinson then jumped over the teller counter and took an unknown amount of cash from the drawers, police reported.

The two fled in a light-colored, four-door car driven by a third unknown subject, cops reported.

Responding officers from the First Precinct and Bureau of Special Operations found the two on Babylon Turnpike in Freeport, cops said. A hand gun and proceeds on the robbery were found with them, detectives said.

Robinson also had two open warrants against him, detectives discovered.

One female customer reported minor knee pain and was transported to a hospital for treatment, cops said.

Hunter and Robinson were both charged with first and second-degree robbery and first-degree criminal use of a firearm. They will be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
