Rolling Meadows bank robbed; photos released
A Fifth Third bank in Rolling Meadows was robbed of an undisclosed amount of money about 3:30 p.m. Monday.
On Tuesday, police and the FBI released photos of the robber, who they believe may have been helped in his getaway by an accomplice in a nearby car.
Police said a man in his mid-20s entered the bank at Algonquin and New Wilke roads and handed the teller a note demanding money. A weapon was implied but not shown, police said.
The robber put the cash in a white plastic bag and ran from the bank southbound on foot. He was seen entering a newer, four-door black sedan near New Wilke Road and Chateau, police said.
A woman with blond hair was seen sitting in the driver's seat until the robber entered the car and took over driving the car. Authorities said the car drove south through an office complex toward Golf Road.
The robber is between 5'6" and 6' tall, weighs about 150 pounds, has a light brown goatee and green eyes and was wearing a brown hat with a stripe, a brown jacket, black hoodie, jeans and tennis shoes.
Anyone with information should call the Rolling Meadows police at (847) 870-9075.
