The PNC Bank, 300 Holmes Ave., in Clarendon Hills, was robbed at 11:50 a.m. Friday.

The suspect was described by the FBI as being a black man, 5-feet, 8-inches tall, medium build, with facial hair, and wearing a checkered shirt, dark jeans and a baseball hat.

The robbery was described by the FBI as being a "takeover bank robbery," meaning the suspect walked into the bank and let those inside know why he was there, said Garrett Croon, the FBI's Chicago media coordinator. A non-takeover robbery is when a suspect is quiet and only lets someone, such as a bank teller, know his intentions, Croon said.

Clarendon Hills police responded to the call, and squad cars from Oak Brook and Willowbrook were visible at the entrance to the parking lot of the bank Friday. Clarendon Hills Police Chief Boyd Farmer referred all questions about the robbery to the FBI.

A phone call to the bank Friday afternoon resulted in a voice mail greeting that the branch was closed. A spokesperson for PNC Bank said they do not comment on robberies and refer all such inquiries to law enforcement.
