This morning's robbery of the Metropolitan Bank branch at 1947 W. 35th St. in McKinley Park was Chicago's 270th robbery this year. While it's still short of the record - 284 in 2006 - it's still a sharp increase over last year's 226. This robber wore pink gloves during the incident. The robber "was described as Hispanic, about 5-foot-7, 200 pounds and wearing a light green hoodie under a black puffy jacket, blue jeans and white gym shoes." No one was hurt in the incident.
