By Dee Longfellow
On Monday, Nov. 28, at approximately 4:41 p.m., the Elmhurst Police Department was dispatched to Elmhurst-Wintrust Bank located at 115 W. Third Street in downtown Elmhurst, for a reported bank robbery.
Upon arrival, officers learned two suspects had entered the bank. One suspect presented a note demanding cash to the teller and the other suspect acted as a look-out. The suspect with the note implied he had a weapon but did not display one.
After taking an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspects left on foot, westbound toward Addison Ave. No injuries were reported in connection with the robbery.
Evidence located by officers at the scene indicated the suspects fled to a nearby alley south of Third Street, between Addison and Larch Avenues. The area was searched by officers however the suspects were no longer in the area. The suspects may have left the scene of the alley in an unknown vehicle.
The suspects are described as follows:
Suspect 1: A male, 20-30 years of age, 6-foot-tall, medium build, wearing a blue Nike hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and black gloves.
Suspect 2: A male, 20-40 years of age, 6-foot-tall, heavy build, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, surgical mask, and black pants.
At press time, police said there were no updates to this story, but the incident remains under investigation by the Elmhurst Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Elmhurst Police Department at (630) 530-3050.
