WEST PATERSON, N.J. - He did not take the money and run. This bank robber held the loot and waited while a bank employee called him a taxi. They could have also called him by name.
Despite the business suit, sunglasses and long brown wig, another employee at the Rutherford bank recognized the bandit as Ernest Di Falco, who had worked in a nearby pizzeria.
It was no surprise when Di Falco was arrested a half-hour later, since a bank employee gave a license plate number to police, who quickly tracked the getaway cab to Paterson.
The incident happened Monday, when Di Falco, 53, entered the Bank of New York, showed a teller the bogus gun and demanded money, authorities said.
