Two males robbed two north suburban banks hours apart Monday in Northbrook and Zion.

At 10:28 a.m., the suspects robbed a PNC Bank branch at 2900 Sheridan Road in Zion, according to the FBI. The pair then struck again at 12:43 p.m. at a Fifth Third Bank branch at 240 Skokie Boulevard in Northbrook.

One robber is described as a 22-year-old black man, standing between 5-foot-8 and 6 feet, with a thin build, wearing a green knit hat, a black North Face jacket, black jeans, black boots and black gloves, the FBI said. The other robber is only described as a black male.

They did not show a weapon in the robberies, the FBI said.

Anyone with information on the robberies is asked to contact the FBI at (312) 421-6700.
