FBI investigators are asking for the public's help to help them capture a bank robber dubbed the "Man in Black" robber who is responsible for a 2011 bank robbery at gunpoint in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood.
The bank hold up happened on April 6 at a Citibank branch at 5674 S. Archer Ave., officials said in a press release.
Witnesses told police at the time that a man walked into the bank wearing a black motorcycle helmet and walked up to a teller. The robber appeared as though he was going to take off the helmet, but reached into his jacket and brandished a small, semi-automatic handgun and a black draw-string bag, officials said.
The man then demanded cash, saying “Give me all your money, I’m not kidding,” according to investigators.
As the tellers put the money on the counter, the man directed bank employees to put the money in the bag and told the tellers to “hurry up”, while pointing the gun at them.
The robber then took the cash and began to leave the bank but not before he pointed the gun at an employee and said, “Boom! Boom! You’re dead!”
The robber then exited the bank on foot and was seen walking north on Laramie Avenue.
The robber is described as a white male, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 2 inches tall with a thin build. He wore a black “HJC” motorcycle helmet with dark visor, black jeans, black leather gloves, black leather riding jacket and white tennis shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Chicago FBI at (312) 421-6700 or any law enforcement agency.
