Fernando Rios, a 46-year-old man recently paroled after serving a year for bank robbery, allegedly committed another robbery on February 27 at a CitiBank in Manhattan. He threatened a teller with a note and gestures implying he had a weapon. Rios has an extensive criminal history with over 76 prior arrests, including past convictions for robbery and a crime involving a minor. After being identified by the teller, he was arrested and is now held on $15,000 bail at Rikers Island.
Rios was paroled on January 8, 2023, just weeks before he allegedly robbed a bank on February 27, highlighting a worrying cycle of recidivism.
With 76 prior arrests since 1993, Rios has consistently returned to crime after multiple convictions for bank robbery, rape, and other offenses.
