A man dubbed "The Wicker Park Bandit" after being suspected of robbing eight North Side banks struck again late Saturday morning on the Northwest Side.
A Chase bank branch in the Roscoe Village neighborhood on the 3500 block of North Western Avenue was robbed about 11:37 a.m. Saturday, officials said.
The man walked into the bank and handed the teller a note where he indicated that he was armed and that he was robbing the bank, Chicago police said.
The teller handed the man an undisclosed amount of cash before the man fled, police said.
The FBI described the man as black, between the ages of 20 to 30, standing 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall. Police said he had a goatee and was wearing a black skull cap, black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.
The bandit is thought to be responsible for eight previous robberies including the North Community Bank branch at 2335 N. Clark St. on Dec. 20; the PNC Bank branch at 4400 N. Broadway on Dec. 22; the Chase Bank branch at 1350 N. Wells St. on Dec. 30; the North Community Bank branch at 1555 N. Damen Ave. on Jan. 6; the North Community Branch at 1600 W. Chicago Ave. on Jan. 6; the Chase Bank branch at 1200 N. State Parkway on Jan. 9; the North Community Bank branch at 448 N. Wells St. on Jan. 16 and the Chase Bank branch at 71 W. Chicago Ave. on Jan 21., the FBI said.
No one was injured, police said.
