It’s a stick-up
A male offender robbed a Chase bank, 200 W. Jackson Blvd., on Oct. 23, according to police reports as reported by the Chicago Journal. The male, wearing a black skull cap and black leather jacket, gave one of the bank tellers a note that said, “This is a robbery. I have a gun. Give me your money.” The teller dispensed $200 as the offender stood by with his hand in his pocket indicating he may have a weapon. The offender then fled in an unknown direction.
