A man accused of robbing at least eight banks - mostly located along the Red Line, hence the name - appears to have struck again. The bank hit this time was Charter One Bank branch at 33 W. Grand Ave., near the Grand & State Red Line stop. Police think the man uses the CTA as his getaway. In March, police offered up to $10,000 in reward for information leading to his arrest. The Red Line Robber has been described as, "a male, 30 to 35, 6 feet to 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds with a medium build and beard. He has worn sunglasses, a dark colored baseball cap and a black bomber jacket during all of his robberies." Anyone with information could and should contact the Chicago FBI at 312-421-6700.

Not to laugh but I just imagined the robber in a delayed Red Line Train with the cops in the train right behind it going into a slow zone.
Have you ever seen that movie Eagle Eye? I almost spit milk out of my nose when, at one point in the film, the protagonist landed on the tracks as a Blue Line train raced toward him. Oh noes! He would have, like, 10 minutes to get up and jump out before the train started ambling again!
haha
On the up side, he can really help out a lot of basketball teams.
? How so?
It was a weak reference to all those kids on the Red Line shoving crumpled photocopies into people's faces asking money for their youth basketball team ... a poorly plotted joke.
i thought it was a great joke. i usually see those kids around jefferson park on the blue line though
Damn, went straight over my head. Yes, excellent joke.
And think how many tube socks he could buy!
This man has a lot of confidence in our public transportation system. Hearing the words "We are experiencing a delay and expect to be moving shortly" must make him break out in a sweat.
Oh noes...a black criminal...quick post it to chicagoist so people can try to catch him!
