A 48-year-old woman walking to Aztec America Bank at Oak Park and Cermak, said a man punched her in the face and robbed her. The woman, who was carrying a bag containing checks and cash from her store, said she intended to make a deposit. But after the man hit her, she dropped the bag. The offender tore open the bag, stole $5,600 in cash, and fled on foot northbound. Witnesses saw him enter an apartment building on the east side of the 2100 block of Oak Park Avenue, then emerge a few minutes later wearing a black skullcap. The offender was described as a male black, about 25, 6’ tall, in baggy jeans and a black hoody with the hood up. The hoody featured a blue and red design on the front.
