Police and the FBI are investigating after an older male robbed a bank while implying he was armed with a gun in Kildeer Friday morning, authorities said.
The Kildeer Police Department responded around 10:30 a.m. Friday to the Bank of America, 20263 North Rand Road in Kildeer, for a report of an armed robbery.
A suspect walked into the bank and presented a note to the teller, according to Kildeer Police Chief Steve Balinski.
The note implied that the suspect was armed with a gun but the suspect did not display a weapon.
Balinski said the teller complied with the demands and handed an unknown amount of cash to the suspect.
The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
It is suspected that the suspect was driving a newer model GMC Acadia, Balinski said. The license plate was not known.
The offender was described as being a male white, approximately 60 years old, 5-foot-7 and 210 pounds.
He had facial hair, including a grey goatee, and was wearing a dark jacket, gray shirt and black and silver glasses.
No one was injured in the robbery. The FBI Chicago Field Office also responded to the scene.
The FBI and Kildeer Police Department are both seeking assistance from the public in identifying and locating the suspect.
Anyone who was driving a Tesla in the vicinity of the Bank of America and Whole Foods parking lot between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. is asked to call the FBI at 847-734-9833 or the Kildeer Police Department at 847-438-6644, Balinski said.
In July 2023, the same Bank of America branch was robbed by a woman who was arrested after she stole $20,000 in cash while implying she was armed.
