A bank robber was captured on a CTA bus shortly after holding up a bank in the Lincoln Square neighborhood on Friday morning.

About 11 a.m., a man robbed a bank at 4800 N. Western Ave., according to a Lincoln District police sergeant.

Police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor said the suspect implied he had a weapon but it was not known if he really had one.

A Corus Bank branch is located at the Western Avenue address.

Within 15 minutes of the bank robbery, someone saw a man matching the description of the suspect on a CTA bus a couple of blocks away and police officers were able to capture the suspect, according to the sergeant, who said no one was hurt in the incident.

The suspect was taken to Belmont Area police headquarters, the sergeant said at 12:15 p.m.

FBI agents were en route to the scene, spokeswoman Cynthia Yates said.
