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.
