On Monday, the man entered a Fifth Third Bank at 154 S. Western Ave. in Carpentersville at about 4:40 p.m., according to bandittrackerchicago.com. He showed a handgun and walked out of the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to the Daily Herald. No one was injured in the robbery.

The Carpentersville bank robbery comes just weeks after the suspect is accused of entering First American Bank, 1789 S. Randall Road in Geneva, at 2:37 p.m. on July 29. He was again armed with a gun but this time was wearing a Darth Vadar mask and a nylon stocking over his head. He was also wearing an orange shirt and tan pants. Police did not reveal how much cash the robber got away with, according to the Aurora Beacon-News.

The West Chicago bank robbery happened at a Fifth Third Bank at 11:05 a.m. on July 5. Police believe the same suspect robbed the bank at 1800 North Neltnor Boulevard while wearing a black flat billed hat with the "Heat logo" on the front, a grey-hooded sweatshirt, oversized jeans, and slip on grey shoes.

The suspect is further described as a black male weighing around 250 pounds and between 6 feet 3 inches and 6 feet five inches tall.
