SCHAUMBURG, IL — More details were released Thursday by the FBI regarding an armed bank robbery last week in Schaumburg. The U.S. Bank branch at 60 S. Meacham was robbed on March 6.

The robbery happened at around 1:23 p.m, according to the FBI. A man, described as white or Hispanic, made a verbal demand for funds with a black handgun. In addition to the original physical description of the suspect, police said Thursday he has dark hair with a blonde dyed streak or light hair patch commonly associated piebaldism, a condition that causes unpigmented or white patches of hair, on the left side of his head. He is also believed to have long hair that falls over the right side of his face, possibly in an "emo" style.

The suspect is in their late 20s to early 30s, between 6 foot and 6-foot-2, 200 to 220 pounds. He was wearing a dark tan or brown pull-over style hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a black gaiter style facial covering over the lower half of his face, no gloves, blue jeans, and black gym shoes with white accents and soles, and a gray backpack.

The suspect was last seen running southbound from the bank, armed with the handgun. Schaumburg police said citizens in the immediate area had been issued a message asking them to shelter in place for their safety following the incident. Motorists were also being asked to avoid the area. Citizens should be alert of their surroundings and call 911 if they see anything suspicious.
