The Wheaton Bandit is an unidentified bank robber allegedly responsible for as many as 16 armed robberies around Wheaton, Illinois from 2002 to 2006. He appears to be 25 to 35 years old at the time of robbery, always wearing a hood or mask skiing, and wearing different clothes in every robbery. Instead of placing his finger in a pistol trigger, he often keeps a trigger finger along the side of the gun, a secure position that indicates law enforcement or military training. The outer line of his jacket indicated that he also wore a bulletproof vest.
There are at least two possible sightings of Wheaton Bandit without a face cap. In late December 2004, an unknown man entered MidAmerica Bank in Glen Ellyn without making any transactions, but was recorded by a bank security camera. Two weeks later, in January 2005, the Wheaton Bandit robbed the bank, and the December visitors matched the physical description of the known robber. On November 29, 2006, a witness saw a suspicious man in the parking lot of the Third Fifth Bank one hour before being robbed. This witness helped the police draw a combined sketch of the suspect.
After the parking people's sketch was released to the public on December 11, 2006, the crime abruptly ended and there were no further reports on Wheaton Bandit. Despite the $ 50,000 prize offered for information about the robbers, the five-year restriction law on bank robbery charges runs out on December 7, 2011.
