A suspected bank robber is in custody after a Lakeview neighborhood bank was robbed this afternoon for the second time in over a month, according to FBI officials.
The robbery happened shortly before 2 p.m. at the Fifth Third Bank banch, 640 W. Diversey Parkway, said FBI spokeswoman Joan Hyde.
The man who robbed the bank is described as a white man between 30 and 40 years old who is about 6 feet 1 inches tall, Hyde said. The man was wearing a black bandanna, black sunglasses and a black shirt.
Hyde later said that a man was in custody and charges were pending.
The man fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
No weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported.
The same bank was robbed Aug. 5 by a white man about 6 feet tall who appeared to be in his late 40s or 50s, officials said.
It was not immediately known if the same man was responsible for both robberies.
