Burglars tried to drill into a Capital One bank on 31st Street through the roof early Monday morning, according to police.

The bank is located at 22-04 31st Street and sits under a nail salon. Both were roped off with police tape following the attempted theft.

According to the NYPD, a neighbor called 911 at 2:30 a.m. after hearing drilling and metal cutting noises outside.

Responding officers found a hole had been cut into the roof of the bank and into the vault. They also found tools left at the scene.

The burglars did not gain access to the vault and police did not find evidence of anything stolen.

A police helicopter was dispatched in search of the perpetrators but found no one. The investigation is ongoing.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

Oct. 2, 2024 By Tom Grech, Councilmember Sandra Ung and Assemblymember Sam Berger

Businesses are feeling the impact. From Astoria to Flushing, sidewalks and streets that once allowed shoppers to stroll safely have become obstacle courses where two-wheelers zip past at alarming speeds, weaving between pedestrians and cars with little regard for the rules of the road. When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses. This is especially true for seniors and individuals with mobility issues, who now have the added challenge of navigating around e-vehicles to shop at their favorite stores or eat at their favorite restaurants.
