The FBI has gotten involved in the search for the "Stick Figure Bandit," the name given to the man who Park last month.
According to the Highland Park Police Department, a white male walked up to a Chase teller at 9:20 a.m. on Sept. 1 and presented a note that implied he had a gun. The note directed the teller to turn over cash from her drawer. The teller gave the approximately 25-year-old man an undetermined amount of cash, and he then left the bank, fleeing on foot.
