A man who went to the effort of robbing six New York banks in five days made off with a grand total of just $605.

Gustavo DeJesus Torres, 33, began his disappointing crime spree late last week, when he walked into a branch of Chase and handed the teller a note stating that people would get hurt if they did not hand over money. The note did not suggest that Torres was armed.

Just an hour later, he tried the same stunt again at another New York City Chase branch, and the following day, he used the same technique twice more, again at Chase branches.

After having two days off, he targeted two more of the financial giant’s locations.

During two of his attempts, Torres' technique was mildly fruitful, leaving the premises with $320 from a branch in Jackson Heights, Queens, and $265 from a branch on Nostrand Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, over the weekend.

During his robbery of a bank on West 125th Street in Harlem on Tuesday, he emerged from the premises with $20, the police said.
