A man wearing a fake beard robbed a bank Monday in the West Loop, according to the FBI.

The Parkway Bank at 39 N. Morgan was robbed just before 5 p.m., according to a statement from FBI spokesman Garrett Croon. He did not display a weapon.

The suspect was described as a 60-year-old black man, wearing a dark sports jacket, dark pants, white shirt, white fishing hat, black sunglasses and fake beard, Croon said. He also carried a yellow bag in which he asked the money to be put.

Anyone with information about the robberies or the suspect is asked to call the FBI’s Chicago office at (312) 421-6700.
