WILMETTE, Ill. - Local and federal authorities are searching for two people suspected of robbing a bank Monday in north suburban Wilmette.
About 2:45 p.m., two men wearing "COVID type masks" walked into the Byline Bank, 3245 Lake Ave., and passed the teller a note demanding money, implying they had a weapon, Wilmette police said.
Once the teller handed over the money, the suspects, believed to be about 20 years old, got into a lime-green Dodge Challenger and fled, police said.
The FBI and Wilmette police are investigating the robbery.
