Partners in Crime: Teller Arrested in Robber Cop Case
Police have arrested a bank teller for helping an NYPD rookie pull off two robberies at the East Village bank last year. Christina Dasrath admitted to cops that she received a portion of the $118,000 taken.
Police officer Christian Torres was arrested last week after robbing a Sovereign Bank in Pennsylvania of more than $100,000. It turns out Torres was tipped off by Dasrath about the East Village branch's lax security (plus security changes made after his first heist). The two may have met while attending the John Jay School of Criminal Justice.
Dasrath is being charged with bank fraud and making false statements because she told investigators she knew nothing about her bank's robberies. A source characterized Dasrath as the mastermind behind the bank jobs, but her 16-year-old brother Christopher came to his older sister's defense. "There's no way she would do something like this...Our dad is the strictest person you'd ever meet."
The NY Times revealed that after Torres' arrest, police found "a copy of his own wanted poster...and news clippings related to the Manhattan robberies" in the car. And while Torres was buying a 1.5 carat diamond ring for his fiancée with the stolen loot, Dasrath's brother told the Daily News, "The only thing she bought recently was a black Toyota for 3 Gs, and it doesn't even have a CD player."

uughhh... muffintop.
I knew all along that there was inside help on these robberies. The average note passer in all the heists I've read about usually get $5,000 or less from a teller, nowhere near $100,000. I'm surprised it took this long for the rest of the police to catch up with those two.
i hope she planned on using the $ to pay for liposuction.
She's hot! That is of course you are a three legged elephant in heat and blind in one eye.
I see that we are now quoting brothers rather than mothers and fathers regarding the status of a perp's saintliness.
Regarding her ill got gains and how they were spent, I would suggest checking the local McDonalds and KFC in her neighborhood to see if there was a spike in sales shortly after the two robberies.
lmao@ "petite"
At least her prison uniform will be less ill-fitting.
And...My money is on the fact that this chick had the hots for Officer Bank Heist and helped him in hopes of getting him to notice her.
Wow this is like a fucked up version of It Could Happen to You.
