We're reshuffling some of our content here at Patch, and so Patch Roundup, which used to run at the beginning of the weekend, is moving to the end. Don't worry, though: we'll still be here to bring you the highlights (and, sadly, often the lowlights) of the western Chicago suburbs each week.
It's lowlights that lead this week, with the FBI saying that guy seen to your right is likely responsible for two bank robberies since April, the latest in Elmhurst last Monday. And just from Sunday, on the eastern side of our roundup range, a young man was shot to death in the street for reasons still under investigation.
