According to authorities, the unknown male suspect robbed a Huntington Bank located in the 1400 block of West Fullerton Avenue just after 9:30 a.m., then robbed a Fifth Third Bank in the 5900 block of North Broadway around noon.
Authorities said the man — who wore a facial covering as well as a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and dark shoes with white soles, and was carrying a red drawstring backpack — was carrying a handgun and made a verbal demand for funds.
No injuries were reported at either location, authorities said, and the man fled both banks on foot.
The FBI did not state how much money the man allegedly made off with. Anyone with information about the suspect or the robberies can report tips anonymously either at 312-421-6700 or tips.fbi.gov.
