January 22, 2001 Paper Work Bandit Records 9th Robbery Kathleen L. McChesney, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is asking for the public's help in identifying an individual believed responsible for the robbery of nine Chicago area banks, dating to December 27, 2000. The most recent robbery occurred earlier today when the West Suburban Bank branch, located at 355 West Army Trail Road in Bloomingdale, was robbed of an undetermined amount of cash. After entering the bank, the robber approached a teller and orally demanded money from her drawer. Although he implied that he was armed, no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported. The robber fled on foot, with no direction or means of escape observed. Dubbed the "Paper Work Bandit" because of the handful of papers that he carries with him, he is described as a black/male, 30-40 years of age, 5'10" - 6'0" tall, medium build, with short black hair. As in prior robberies, he was wearing dark colored clothing and silver rimed sunglasses. Anyone recognizing the "Paper Work Bandit" is asked to call the FBI at (312) 431-1333 or their local police department. (Photographs of the "Paper Work Bandit" are available from the FBI Press Office, (312) 786-2645.) |
