An Uptown bank was robbed of $1,000 this morning and the FBI is offering a modest reward for information that leads them to the offender.

The man entered Chase Bank at 5134 North Clark just after 11 a.m. and handed a note to a teller demanding cash. No weapon was used.

Police said the man is white, in his 30’s, thin, and just under 6-feet tall. He was wearing a puffy black coat that extended to his thighs, a black scarf over his face, sunglasses, black pants, and dark gloves. In true North Side fashion, he also had a cup of coffee.

A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for “information leading directly to the arrest” of the suspect, the FBI said. Tips may be directed to the agency’s Chicago Field Office at (312) 421-6700.

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.
