Seeking Information on Credit Union Robbery in Gurnee

February 3, 2010 - The Chicago FBI and Gurnee Police Department are investigating the take-over robbery of the Community Trust Credit Union, located at 1313 Route 41, on Friday evening. Investigation so far has determined that a lone robber, described only as a black/male dressed in all black clothing and wearing a ski mask, entered the credit union at closing time armed with a hand gun. After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled the area on foot, disappearing behind a nearby building, possibly into a waiting vehicle. While fleeing, the robber fired at a Gurnee Police Officer, who was responding to the robbery. The officer was not struck and no injuries were reported during the robbery.

This individual should be considered armed and dangerous. Downloadable photographs of the robber are available today on the Bandit Tracker website, www.bandittrackerchicago.com.

Additional information will be forthcoming.
