The FBI is offering a modest reward for information that leads them to a Wicker Park bank robber.
Police said the man implied he had a weapon as he passed a hold-up note to the teller at Belmont Bank and Trust, 1958 West Division at 1:04 p.m. on August 28. He got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
According to the FBI, the robber is a White or Hispanic man who stands 5’6” to 5’8” tall. He has a small build, black hair, and wore his right arm in a sling.
Anyone with information about the robber can contact the FBI’s Chicago Field Office at 312-421-6700. The agency is offering up to $1,000 for information that leads to the man’s arrest and conviction.
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.
