Police are searching for a suspect who jumped into the water to evade arrest after a vehicle theft attempt in Brooklyn.
The suspect's alleged crime spree began in Queens on March 13 at around 12:30 p.m. when he hit Chase Bank at 24-16 Queens Plaza South. Using a written note, he demanded money from a teller but cops said he got away with nothing. Just 30 minutes later, he tried again, police said. Torres walked into another Chase, located at 37-67 75 St. in Jackson Heights, passed a note to a teller demanding money and was able to snag around $320.
A 30-year-old man was approached by two men wearing masks. One of the suspects then fired a gun striking the 30-year-old in both legs. The victim was taken to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.
Canton police issued a shelter-in-place for residences in the area where a woman was shot Monday night as police actively search for an armed suspect.

Police responded to a report of a person shot at the Lamplighter Village apartment complex, near the intersection of Turnpike Street and Stagecoach Road, around 6:40 p.m.
According to law enforcement sources, the 66-year-old man was on a southbound F train at the Delancey-Essex Streets station at around 6:15 p.m. on Sept. 20 when he was attacked. Police said an unidentified man approached the victim from behind and struck him in the back of his head, using a closed fist. The violent blow caused the victim to briefly lose consciousness, according to authorities, though he refused medical attention at the scene.
