CHICAGO – The FBI is asking for the public’s help in identifying a bank robbery suspect, known as the “Bare-Chested Bandit,” who is believed to have carried out three heists in the Loop since mid-September.
The suspect wore different disguises during each robbery, and according to the FBI, this is the first time in recent years a suspect changed clothes on public transportation.
The most recent robbery occurred on Tuesday at 3:58 p.m., when the man allegedly walked into a Citibank located at 100 S. Michigan Avenue, approached a teller, passed a note demanding money, and made a violent threat. After he was given cash, he fled the scene on foot. No injuries were reported.…
