Police say a woman was held at knifepoint Tuesday during a harrowing daylight incident in the Bronx.

The incident happened on the Grand Concourse near East 149th Street that afternoon when a man and woman approached a 56-year-old woman, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The two individuals allegedly brought out a knife and forced the victim to go to an ATM and retrieve $8,000 from her bank account.

The pair is accused of taking the money and two of the woman’s rings.

Perps look like dreamers to me...

My chase ATM has a hard limit at $500.

Hard to believe she could pull that much

[thefactor]

I’ve never seen an ATM able to give out $8K at once. Most banks have a daily limit of a couple thousand dollars per day.

[chajin]

Same here, and I’m not poor, it makes me wonder

[NWFree]

You can’t even get $8000 through the ATM output slot at one time

[NWFree]

It simply won’t fit

[Palio di Siena]

Truist - ATM $600 limit per day for me.

[bk1000]

I have never heard of an ATM that would let you withdraw that amount. I know my bank puts an $800/day limit on ATM withdrawals.

I see that my bank has an $500 daily limit. But it must be more for business accounts as I’ve taken out more than that. I couldn’t find out what my limit is online.

I don't have or use ATM cards. Every time I placed a $500 daily limit on them, two months later it was back up to $5000 (Their doing) After enough times I cut the cards and removed them from my accounts. Six months later, new cards arrive in the mail for ATM, with $5K daily limits again.

I closed my accounts and changed banks.

[blackdog]

I’m guessing the limit includes retail register and on-line purchases too. Not just cash?

[Freest Republican]

Most atms are set with a max of 40 bills/day.

I’ll guess they found one that dispenses $100’s-

hitting it before and after midnight.

Otherwise the story is not making sense to me.

[Boogieman]

It’s Manhattan. 2 grand probably won’t pay your cab fare.

[antidemoncrat]

Hey, according to the DOI ... II mean DOJ it’s only white supremacists that are a threat to law and order in this country not “people of color”...

[RetiredTexasVet]

Well at least they didn’t use guns ... that could be dangerous.

MY ATM is limited to $500 or $800 in a 24 hour period. Can’t imagine someone could get $8k from their’s.
