St. Charles, IL – The FBI is asking for the public’s help today in identifying a suspect connected to a recent bank robbery at a U.S. Bank branch in St. Charles. Federal investigators say the incident occurred on November 8 at the location on 135 Smith Road, prompting an immediate search for the individual allegedly involved.
According to the FBI’s Chicago field office, the suspect entered the bank during normal business hours and fled the scene shortly after the robbery. Agents did not immediately release details regarding the amount of money taken or whether the suspect was armed, but officials emphasized that locating the individual is now a priority.
The FBI released surveillance images of the suspect on Wednesday and is urging community members across St. Charles, Kane County, and the greater Chicago metro area to review the photos carefully. Residents who recognize the individual or who may have been near the U.S. Bank on the morning of November 8 are encouraged to contact investigators as soon as possible.
According to the agency, tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 312-421-6700 or through the online tip portal at tips.fbi.gov. Federal authorities note that even small observations—such as clothing, vehicle descriptions, or unusual activity near the bank—could help move the investigation forward.
The St. Charles Police Department is also assisting the FBI as the search continues this week. Officials have not announced any arrests or leads but say additional updates will be released as the investigation develops.
Residents with information are encouraged to contact authorities immediately.
