The FBI is on the hunt for a daring armed robbery crew that targeted an armored car in Blue Island on Friday afternoon.
It happened outside U.S. Bank, 11960 Western Avenue, around 4:25 p.m. Three masked men displayed guns and stole cash and ATM currency cassettes from the armored car team.
The FBI said the robbers were three Black men in their late teens to mid-20s. They all wore dark sweatpants, dark hoodies, dark face coverings, and light gray gloves.
No injuries were reported during the robbery.
FBI investigators are asking tipsters to contact them at 312-421-6700 or online at tips.fbi.gov. The agency made a special point of noting that information can be provided anonymously.

“The FBI is on the hunt...”
If they are Biden/Obama era hires, they’ll be hiding not hunting.

So how come the FBI is certain they were black?

No, Blue Island is not an island. I don’t know how it got its name. It’s just one of numerous suburban towns around Chicago.
To: PeterPrinciple
I’m surprised they identify them as black. In so many news stories, they fail to mention the race or ethnicity of a criminal perpetrator.
To: Retain Mike
>>>…FBI is certain they were black?
Could have been the Blue Man Group in sweats.
Never trusted those guys.

Here it is all about being cheap. Pay is 16-18 dollars an hour to start in my area for that job. You get idiots and flunkies , mainly.
To: george76
WHAT??!!? In Chicago, of all places? Surely this is fake news.
