NEW YORK — New York City police are seeking a bank robber who’s armed with a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers. The suspect strolled into a Manhattan bank last week while carrying the flowers. Police say he reached into the arrangement, pulled out a threatening note and handed it to a teller.

The note demanded $100 and $50 bills and warned, “Don’t be a hero.”

He was given an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing.

Police released a security photo on Monday of the man showing him standing at a counter while clutching the bouquet.
