America may run on Dunkin’ — but this alleged bank robber should have bypassed the coffee shop.
A Queens man knocked off a Lodi, NJ, bank with a BB gun Monday and got $4,000 but was caught by cops when he made a pit stop at a Dunkin’ Donuts just a block away.
Michael Cassano, 38, approached a teller at a Hudson City Savings Bank, plunked a BB gun on the counter and demanded cash, NorthJersey.com reported.
Apparently in no rush to flee with the $4,000 proceeds, the thief took a coffee break about a block away from the scene, police said.
Maywood police Sgt. Timothy Moran spotted Cassano — who matched the description of the suspect — near the entrance of a Dunkin’ Donuts about 20 minutes after the heist, Maywood Police Chief David Pegg said.
Cops recovered the “proceeds of the robbery” and a BB gun, Pegg said.
Cassano was charged with robbery and two weapons offenses. Federal charges were pending.
With bail set at $250,000, he will be transferred to the FBI on Tuesday.
He also is suspected and faces charges in a Toms River, NJ, bank robbery, Lodi police Capt. Donald Scorzetti told The Post.
