A stylish suspect in a sun hat made more than $4,000 in bank withdrawals using the ID of a woman whose wallet went missing on the subway, police sources said.

The 52-year-old victim noticed her wallet was missing as she tried to enter the West 86th Street station on the 1 line at about 6:15 p.m. on Feb 17, cops said.

About two months later, the suspect entered a Chase branch on Wallabout Street in Brooklyn and used the woman’s bank-account information to withdraw $2,500 in cash, cops said.

Another $1,900 was withdrawn from a Chase branch on Arthur Avenue in The Bronx on May 8, where the suspect was caught on surveillance video in a floppy-brimmed black and white sun hat and a blue and white dress, cops said.

The mystery woman, believed to be in her 30s and 5-foot-4, entered another Chase branch that day but fled without any loot, cops said.

The victim reported her wallet missing on April 22, cops said.
