Bellator veteran Sergio Da Silva arrested for alleged role in bank robbery

Last week the New York Police Department announced that they had arrested Sergio DaSilva, a 31-year-old New York resident described by the New York Post as a “lousy MMA fighter.” Da Silva is accused of robbing Astoria Citibank in Astoria, Queens last month.

According to the Posts report the Astoria Citibank robbery happened around 9 a.m. on August 27th, and was committed by a man dressed in dark pants, a black hooded sweatshirt, and a bandana covering the lower half of his face. The robber reportedly told the three bank tellers who were working at the time that he had a gun in his coat pocket and he would “shoot everybody” if they did not hand over the bank’s money.
