Update On The Addison Bank Robbery Case

Dominic Bova of Corning, is the Addison bank robbery suspect.  He will be in Steuben County Court for a Huntley hearing on Friday April 24, at 930am.  Huntley Hearings are for getting statements from suspects suppressed.  Bova’s defense lawyer is Daniel Dubois.  Bova is accused of allegedly committing the bank robbery in Addison on August 22, 2025.

It goes without saying that bank robberies don't happen every day in the region.  "They really are very infrequent," Allard tells WVIN News.  "The last one before this, was when I was still with the Corning Police Department.  Two banks in Corning were robbed.  After that, there were bank robberies in Watkins Glen and in Ithaca.  Those bank robberies were all done by the same suspect, who was from Rochester.  We located the suspect and he was successfully prosecuted,' Allard explained.
