Schaumburg police searching for bank robbery suspect

Schaumburg police issued a shelter in place notice for some parts of the community this morning after an armed man robbed a bank on the village's east side.

Authorities said the robber entered the US Bank at 60 S. Meacham at about 11 a.m., showed the gun and demanded money. Authorities did not indicate what, if anything, was taken.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his early 20s, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, with black hair in "emo" style. Schaumburg authorities said he was wearing a work jacket, hoodie and a black mask, but the FBI described his clothing as dark pants and a dark, long-sleeved shirt.

Anyone who sees a man matching the description should call 911 immediately and not approach, officials said.

Besides the shelter in place, police say drivers should avoid the area due to heavy police presence.
