The FBI is trying to locate the man who robbed an Edgewater bank branch Tuesday morning.
Police responded to a silent teller alarm at Byline Bank, 5342 North Broadway, just before 10 a.m. Bank workers told investigators that they were robbed by a man who wore a trenchcoat and carried a Dollar Tree shopping bag. He reportedly fled north on Broadway after the heist.
The FBI said the robber is between 40- and 50-years-old and he wore dark sunglasses. Wednesday morning, the federal agency tweeted that information leading to the man’s arrest and conviction “could be worth a reward.”
Anyone with information about the suspect can contact the FBI’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.
