An armored truck was robbed outside a Chase Bank branch in the Southwest Side Little Village neighborhood.

A man in his 20s hit the truck just before 7 a.m. outside the Chase at 3856 W. 26th St., according to FBI Chicago spokeswoman Janine Wheeler.

The robber was described as a black man between 6-foot and 6-foot-2, with a small build and a dark complexion. He wore a dark jacket, washed jeans, a black hat and sunglasses, the FBI said.

He should be considered armed and dangerous, according to the FBI.
