Lakeview Bank Robbed, Reward Offered

A man who claimed to be carrying a bomb robbed a bank near the Sheridan Red Line station Friday afternoon, police said. No one is in custody.

The robber, decked out in a bright orange jumpsuit with reflective stripes, entered the Chase Bank at 3956 N. Sheridan just after 2 p.m. and made off with an estimated $4,000.

The FBI says the offender as a 40-year-old white man who stands 5’9” to 6-feet tall, with a thin to medium build.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the FBI Chicago office at (312) 421-6700.

A reward is being offered.

CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings. Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
