Davell Luster, a 55-year-old man, has been charged with robbing three banks in Chicago this month. The FBI revealed that Luster confessed to the robberies, citing financial struggles as his motivation. The first robbery took place at PNC Bank in Morgan Park on December 3, where Luster demanded $5,000 from a loan officer. Despite warning the banker not to call the police for an hour, he managed to walk away with the cash.

A week later, Luster targeted Chase Bank in Chatham, demanding $10,000 due to being $9,500 behind on rent. Despite the banker’s advice to leave, Luster proceeded to rob the bank, escaping with a meager $93.97. The FBI agent detailed another robbery on December 17 at PNC Bank on South Western Avenue, where Luster handed a demand note to the bank worker. This time, the teller discreetly placed a GPS tracker in the cash given to Luster, leading to his arrest on a Pace bus carrying $8,258.

Upon interrogation at Area Two police headquarters, Luster initially refused to speak but later confessed to all three robberies. He claimed that stress and the desire to buy gifts for the holidays motivated his criminal actions. The FBI’s complaint highlighted Luster’s escalating desperation, culminating in his arrest and subsequent confession.

This series of bank robberies showcases the lengths individuals may go to in times of financial hardship. Luster’s actions not only jeopardized his own freedom but also endangered the lives of bank employees and customers. The swift response by law enforcement ultimately led to his apprehension and confession, underscoring the consequences of engaging in criminal activities.
