Elmhurst Police Investigate Bank Robbery 

On Monday, November 28, 2022 at approximately 4:41 p.m. the Elmhurst Police Department was dispatched to Elmhurst-Wintrust Bank located at 115 W. Third Street for a reported bank robbery.  Upon arrival, officers learned two suspects had entered the bank. One suspect presented a note demanding cash to the teller and the other suspect acted as a look-out.  The suspect with the note implied he had a weapon but did not display one.  After getting an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspects left on foot, westbound toward Addison Ave.  No injuries were reported in connection with the robbery.  

Evidence located by officers at the scene indicated the suspects fled to a nearby alley south of Third Street, between Addison and Larch Avenues.  The area was searched by officers however the suspects were no longer in the area.  The suspects may have left the scene of the alley in an unknown vehicle.  The suspects are described as:

 Suspect 1: A male, 20-30 years of age, 6-foot-tall, medium build, wearing a blue Nike hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and black gloves.

Suspect 2: A male, 20-40 years of age, 6-foot-tall, heavy build, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, surgical mask, and black pants.

The incident remains under investigation by the Elmhurst Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Elmhurst Police Department at (630) 530-3050.
