A down-on-his-luck bank robber made the ill-advised decision to knock over the same Brooklyn branch where his girlfriend used to work — and its staff recognized him from his past visits and chats there, law enforcement sources said. Vincenzo Randazzo, 59, had just moved back to Brooklyn in February, after spending some time working as a forklift operator in South Carolina, when he decided to rob the Empire State Bank on 18th Ave. and 70th St. in Bensonhurst on March 5, sources said. The FBI tracked him down and arrested him in his Bay Ridge home March 17, finding four handguns and more than $2,800 in marked cash from the robbery, according to court filings.
