FBI agents offer reward for information on man who attempted to rob banks along Michigan Ave.

CHICAGO — FBI agents are offering a reward for information about a man who attempted to rob banks along Michigan Avenue three separate times over the last two and a half months.

According to the FBI, the man has attempted to rob a bank in Chicago every three to four weeks since September and agents say they worry he may soon strike again.

Agents are now offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading directly to an arrest.

Authorities say the three attempted robberies happened at two Citibank locations along Michigan Avenue less than half a mile away from each other between Sept. 19 and Nov. 7. 

Agents provided the following timeline of the attempted robberies:

• September 19 at 3:29 p.m. at the Citibank at 100 South Michigan Avenue. Agents say during this attempted robbery, the man was spotted wearing a hooded sweatshirt, a mask, and a black button-down jacket. 

• October 11 at 3:35 p.m. at the Citibank at 180 North Michigan Avenue. Agents say during this attempted robbery, the man was spotted wearing a black hoodie, a dark grey vest, jeans, and dark shoes

• November 7 at 2:50 p.m. at the Citibank at 180 North Michigan Avenue. Agents say during this robbery, the man was spotted wearing a blue beanie, a red and orange hooded jacket, a blue and yellow zip-up underneath, dark-colored pants, and black and white Nike shoes. 

Agents say the Nov. 7 robbery was successful and added that the man displayed a handgun during the robbery.

According to agents, the man involved is believed to be in his 40s, has a black and grey goatee, and stands between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-7. 

Authorities say the man should be considered to be armed and dangerous.
