CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — The FBI has released new security camera images that show a man who, according to federal agents, robbed one Chicago bank and tried to rob another in the span of two days.
The FBI said they believe the same man — seen wearing the same blue bucket hat — tried to rob a Huntington Bank branch at Irving Park Road and Narragansett Avenue last Friday. Officials said he later held up an Associated Bank branch at Howard and Paulina Streets the following day.
Authorities said the man implied to the cashier that he was armed with a handgun and verbally demanded the funds.
No details were released regarding how much money was taken. It’s not believed that anyone was hurt.
Anyone with information was encouraged to report tips online or by calling 312-421-6700.
