A local activist is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who can help identify the person who robbed an elderly woman in a residential building Sunday morning in the Lake View neighborhood on the North Side.

The robber is described as a black or Hispanic man, between 39 and 44 years of age, standing 5-foot-10 to 6-foot and weighing 200-210 pounds, police said.

Activist Andrew Holmes is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the robber’s arrest. Tips left at 1-800-883-5587 will be confidential.
