November 27, 2000 Ex-employee Charged With Bank Robbery Kathleen L. McChesney, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced today the arrest of MARQUE LOVE, age 19, of 1324 North Homan Avenue in Chicago. LOVE was taken into custody by FBI Agents on Friday, November 24, 2000, for violation of the Federal Bank Robbery Statute. At approximately 11:00 A.M. on Friday, the North Community Bank, located at 732 West Diversey Avenue in Chicago, was robbed of an undetermined amount of currency by a lone robber. After entering the bank, the robber approached a teller and handed her a note, announcing a robbery and demanding money. After receiving cash from the teller's drawer, the robber fled the bank on foot. Although the robber implied that he was armed, no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported. The victim teller told responding officers from the Chicago Police Department that the robber looked familiar. After reviewing photos of former bank employees, the teller identified LOVE as the robber. Chicago Police Officers arrested LOVE at his residence, a short time later. LOVE has been charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago with one count of bank robbery. He is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), pending his next scheduled court appearance. The public is reminded that a complaint is not evidence of guilt and that all defendants in a criminal case are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. |
