A man in a dark baseball hat and dark plaid shirt robbed the 1st Merit Bank at 7227 W. Addison around 10:13 a.m., according to the Chicago FBI. Police said the robber displayed a handgun and vaulted the bank counter before fleeing the scene.

No injuries were reported. Police took a possible suspect into custody in connection with the 1st Merit Bank robbery along with two other previous bank robberies, but details remain sparse.
