Bank Robbers Arrested In Motel Laundry Room
Two men tried to launder money-literally-at the Metro Motel, 73-00 Queens Blvd., Woodside, last Friday, July 14, but were interrupted by police and arrested. The men, 51-year-old Anthony Digiosaffate and Paul Villaneuva, age unknown, had allegedly robbed a Queens County Savings Bank in Howard Beach of about $65,000 earlier in the week. A dye pack in the money exploded, covering the money and the two alleged robbers with red dye. The two checked into the Metro Motel and tried to clean the money in a washing machine in the motel's laundry room, but were arrested. They are being held without bail.
