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.
