The FBI is looking for a man they say robbed a bank in Skokie Monday morning.

At about 10:18 a.m., FBI agents responded to a robbery at the Chase Bank at 7941 Lincoln Ave. in Skokie. The suspect, who had demanded money and implied he had a gun, fled on a CTA bus, according to the FBI.

The suspect was described as a Black man in his 20s wearing a gray and black pattern zip-up hoodie with a yellow print down the right arm, a black puffer jacket, dark jeans, Dr. Martens-style boots, a ski mask and black sunglasses, the FBI said.

The FBI asks anyone with information to call 312-421-6700 or go to tips.fbi.gov.
