Robbery of U.S. Bank Branch in Oak Park

On 9/12/2011, the U.S. Bank branch located at 11 West Madison, Oak Park, Illinois, was robbed by a lone black male. He entered the bank around 5:00 p.m., approached the teller counter, handed the teller a note announcing a robbery, and verbally threatened harm if his demands for cash were not met. The robber was carrying a large bag which he claims contained a bomb. After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the robber fled the bank on foot, heading west. He was described as being in his 20s, medium to large build, wearing dark clothing, a baseball-style cap, and sunglasses. No injuries were reported as a result of this robbery.
