FBI Chicago July 01, 2009
  • Special Agent Garrett Croon (312) 829-1199

The bank robber dubbed “Bullet Proof Bandit” has struck again. The robbery occurred today at the Edens Bank, 5256 Dempster, Skokie, Illinois, around 9:30 a.m. A lone white male, armed with a gun, walked into the bank and announced a robbery. After getting an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the bank on foot. No injuries were reported as a result of this robbery. He is further described as approximately 40 years old, 6’2, slim build, white handkerchief covering lower portion of face.

(He has been given the moniker “Bullet-Proof Bandit” due to the fact that he is believed to be wearing a ballistic vest during these robberies. He should be considered armed and dangerous.)
