A dimwitted serial bank robber was nabbed Friday morning after hailing a cab to Bellevue Hospital to change his clothes that were soaked by an exploding dye pack, law-enforcement sources said.
Dennis Nemirovskaya, 27, allegedly held up a TD Bank in Herald Square just before 10 a.m., fleeing with more than $100 after slipping a note to a teller demanding cash, sources said.
But when the red dye pack inside the bag exploded, staining his clothes, he ditched the cash at West 32nd Street and Sixth Avenue.
Cops responded to a report of an “explosion” at that location and discovered the flurry of red-covered bills in the street.
About 20 minutes later, Nemirovksaya hit up another bank — this time Investors Bank at East 29th Street and Fifth Avenue — and promptly jumped into a cab to flee to Bellevue Hospital, where he’s a methadone patient, sources said.
Once there, he told the cabbie to wait outside while he went in and changed into a fresh button-down shirt and jeans, sources said. Police had tracked the cab to Bellevue and promptly arrested Nemirovskaya on the spot.
But this isn’t the first time the boneheaded bandit strolled into a bank and scored a payday with the swipe of a pen.
Cops had been searching for Nemirovskaya in relation to three other bank robberies that went down in recent weeks.
On Oct. 4, he walked into a Chase Bank in the East Village, slipped a threatening note to the teller claiming he had a gun and walked out with $1,080. Two days later, he pulled similar stunts at a Citibank outside Madison Square Park and another Chase Bank branch near Union Square — hauling in a whopping $5,340 in less than an hour.
Nemirovskaya, from the Midwood section in Brooklyn, has been charged with felony robbery, sources said.
When being led from the police station, the halfwit threatened a photographer with “I will find you!” as cops led him away in cuffs.
