FBI hunting Gang of Armed Robbers Who Held Up Armored Truck in Broad Daylight

The suspects could be seen pointing guns at the armored truck.

An armed robbery targeting an armored vehicle occurred outside a U.S. Bank branch in Blue Island, Illinois, just before 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The FBI confirmed that three unidentified suspects, all armed with handguns, carried out the heist in broad daylight. No injuries were reported, but the suspects remain at large.

FBI Chicago released photos of one of the suspects wearing a black mask.

The incident took place at the U.S. Bank located at 11960 Western Avenue. According to investigators, three men approached the armored truck while it was parked outside the bank and proceeded to rob it at gunpoint. Surveillance footage captured the suspects—believed to be in their late teens to early 20s—with medium builds, dressed in dark-colored sweatpants, hooded sweatshirts, gray gloves, and dark face masks.
