Search for Rolling Meadows Bank Robber Continues

Thomas J. Kneir, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is asking for the public's help in identifying and locating the individual depicted in the attached photographs, who is responsible for the May 19th robbery of the Harris Bank branch, located at 1951 Plum Grove Road in Rolling Meadows.
According to witnesses, the robber entered the bank just before noon, approached a teller and handed her a note announcing a robbery. Although the note implied that he was armed, no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported. After obtaining an as yet undetermined amount of cash, the robber fled the area on foot, last seen running north on Plum Grove Road.
This same individual is also suspected in the April 28th robbery of a LaSalle Bank branch, located at 1355 West Lake Cook Road in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
The robber is described as a white/male, 20 - 30 years of age, 5'10" - 6'0" tall, medium build, with shoulder length blonde hair. His complexion is described as ruddy with noticeable acne.
Both robberies are being investigated jointly by the FBI's Rolling Meadows office, along with the Buffalo Grove and Rolling Meadows Police Departments. Anyone recognizing this individual or having any information about either robbery is asked to call the FBI at (847) 290-0525.
EDITOR's NOTE: Additional copies of the attached photographs are available from the Chicago FBI Press Office at (312) 786-2645.
