AURORA | Investigators are searching for a man suspected of robbing a Chase Bank in southeast Aurora last week, the local branch of the FBI announced Monday.
A task force comprising local, state and federal entities is on the lookout for a Hispanic man in his early 20s, according to an FBI press release.
Investigators say the man, who is believed to be about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build, entered the Chase branch at 5800 S. Parker Road shortly before 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 and demanded money using a note.
He left the bank on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. Officials said he was last seen walking east.
The man was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt bearing the “Budweiser” logo, brown sunglasses, dark-colored pants and a dark-colored hat.
