A New York City felon known as the “Burberry Bandit” is back on the streets after being released from jail following a string of alleged bank robberies.

Cornell Neilly, 35, earned the nickname after he was caught on surveillance camera in 2012 wearing a similar pattern associated with the luxury brand, according to the New York Post. 

Neilly was arrested on Sept. 15 after police said he robbed five banks throughout New York City over the course of one month, the outlet reported. In each case, Neilly allegedly passed a note to the bank teller demanding cash, the NYPD confirmed to Fox News Digital.

According to the Post, in an August court hearing, Gershuny asked a police officer to demonstrate how a suspect was concealing a weapon, before reaching for his own gun while presiding over the case. The incident reportedly resulted in Gershuny being moved to hearing night court cases in Manhattan Criminal Court. 

“The court system does not comment on individual bail determinations, whether in Criminal Court or in Superior Court,” Al Baker, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 

“It is important to note, however, that the vast majority of bail decisions turn on the court’s discretionary weighing of a broad range of factors in order to make an individualized assessment of the defendant’s risk of flight to avoid prosecution. That assessment involves due consideration of information and arguments presented by the prosecutor and defense counsel, as well as other materials submitted to the court.”

Neilly is charged with five counts of felony robbery and is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 1, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. 

Neilly’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

The NYPD confirmed the most recent charges against Neilly but did not comment on past arrests.
