Police released a photo of the man suspected of robbing a currency exchange Monday on the Near North Side.
The man, who was dressed as a police officer, entered the business about 7:40 p.m. in the 500 block of North Michigan Avenue and approached an employee, according to Chicago police. He announced a robbery and implied he had a weapon.
The 22-year-old employee surrendered a bag containing “various foreign currencies,” police said. The man then fled in an unknown direction.
The man was described as about 40 years old, weighing 180-200 pounds and standing 6 feet tall, police said. He was wearing a CPD uniform, baseball cap, long sleeve button-up shirt, reflective vest and a surgical mask.
Area Central detectives are investigating.
