CHICAGO — You could have a whole bunch of extra cash to spend this holiday season. All you have to do is identify this guy.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service says he is responsible for robbing a mail carrier last week. They’re offering up to $150,000 for information that brings him in.

At about 4 p.m. last Thursday, November 14, the robber confronted a letter carrier in the 6200 block of South Evans, according to the USPIS. After robbing the postal worker, he fled toward 63rd Street.

Postal inspectors say he is black, 5’7″ to 6 feet tall, 150 to 160 pounds, and 18 to 28 years old. In addition to the dark sweatpants and North Face sweatshirt seen in the photos, he also wore a black facemask with a white teeth design, officials said.
