Bank Branch Robbed For Third Time

CHICAGO (STNG) ―

A man who implied he had a weapon robbed a Lake View neighborhood bank Tuesday morning.

This was at least the third time in the last two-and-a-half years this branch has been robbed. Robbers struck in September 2006 and on Oct. 15, 2007. 

The man gave a teller at the North Community Bank branch at 3180 N. Broadway a note demanding money, according to FBI spokeswoman Cynthia Yates. The robber implied he had a gun, Yates said, citing preliminary information.

FBI agents were at the scene as of about 10:20 a.m. Though the robbery took place Tuesday morning, Yates did not yet know the exact time.
