An accused New Jersey bank robber needed some help with his getaway - so he asked a bank employee to call him a cab.
Police say Ernest Di Falco was busted about a-half hour after the Bank of New York branch in Rutherford was robbed.
According to investigators, a bank worker wrote down the taxi's license number.
Even though he wore a disguise, police say another bank employee recognized Di Falco and remembered he worked in a nearby pizzeria.
Officers say they've recovered the cash, a fake gun, as well as an old .22-caliber revolver. Di Falco is now charged with armed bank robbery.
