The "Michigan Avenue Marauder" might just be gearing up for his next big score. The FBI has dangled $1,000 for anyone who can serve up deets on a man they say is behind the stick-up spree on Chicago's iconic street.

The Chicago Tribune details how the man tried to get the cash flowing from a Citibank branch on 100 S. Michigan on September 19. He came back for a second round at the Citibank on 180 N. Michigan on October 11th, but it was the third time's charm when he cracked the same joint on November 7. The muscle he showed was a very convincing handgun during those earlier attempts.

The FBI says he's an Adfrican-American about 5'6", sporting a two-tone goatee that's both black and gray. During his latest heist, the suspect rocked a "Michigan" zip-up and a red parka, teamed up with black trousers, a blue knit cap, and kicks that scream Nike contrast with their black and white vibe. Word on the street—or rather from official estimations—puts him in his forties.

Straight from ABC 7 Chicago, the snapshots the FBI put out show the mystery guy decked out in a red/orange hooded jacket, that blue and yellow "Michigan" zip-up, black pants, a blue beanie, and Nikes. They're casting a wide net, hoping some eagle-eyed citizen will drop the dime on him.
