That police protection was good enough to solve the last two robberies and put those responsible in state prison. Inappropriate?

Most times the robber does not make off with a whole lot of money. I know about safety issues but there are pro's and cons that go with that to. Inappropriate?

DO NOT OFFER ANY INFORMATION!! That 10,000 that they promise is bogus! u only put your family at risk in the process, especially when it involves NBT this was the same bank robbed last year that a person tried to help and got screwed over.

I don't recall anywhere in the media that NBT received any of the bailout money, let alone execs exploiting money... To say that you're glad money was stolen is quite cold, and very ignorant... The fact that these people have experienced this situation yet again must be emotionally devastating for them. Inappropriate?

I meant to say that the area was unsafe due to no real law-enforcement, and the Troopers being out of the immediate area most of the time. I didn't mean to call the village as a whole unsafe...

If the police had to sit in front of every bank, our taxes would more than double. Inappropriate? Alert Us!Monday, Dec 22 at 3:13 PM to yeah... wrote ...Do you realize the money is insured?? Our taxes will be paying for the money the thug stole. Inappropriate?

Middleville is a very safe neighborhood, I think it's just the fact that it's a quiet little town where you don't expect something like that to happen even once, and now it's been a number of times. Criminals are aware of easy targets. Inappropriate? Alert Us!Monday, Dec 22 at 2:43 PM Citizen wrote ...Again!? There is not enough police protection in that area... Inappropriate?

Inappropriate? Alert Us!Monday, Dec 22 at 1:41 PM If I recall correctly.... wrote ...Wasn't the same vehicle description put out on their last robbery? What the heck is going on out there. At least none of the employees were physically harmed. Hope their holiday season aren't too screwed up as a result of this. Inappropriate?

The manager of that branch has done a wonderful job keeping her staff safe & unharmed during this & previous robberies. Inappropriate? Alert Us!Add a commentMost Popular
