The Red Line Bandit isn't the only bank robber grabbing headlines this week. The FBI is also asking for the public's help in tracking down the "Bulletproof Bandit," so named because he wears a bulletproof vest during his robberies. The bandit is described as caucasian male, between 30 to 35 years old, between 6 foot to 6 foot 2 inches tall, medium build with dark hair and is suspected in three robberies since late-March.

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. more ›
