A suspect being called the "Stuffed Bear Bandit" is wanted in Chicago after an armed bank robbery earlier this year, and the FBI is offering up to a $1,000 reward for the public’s help.
The unidentified suspect, believed to be between 40 and 50 years old, robbed the PNC Bank at 8700 South Cottage Grove Avenue on just before 3:30 p.m. on March 6, the FBI said.
The suspect entered the bank three separate times before ultimately committing the robbery, FOX32 Chicago reported, citing officials.
The suspect first entered the bank holding two stuffed animals, which appeared to be a plush Winnie the Pooh and a puppy from Disney’s "101 Dalmatians," according to a photo released by the FBI.
