Bank Robbery Suspect Arrested After Pointing Firearm at Employee in Lisle, IL

ANTONIO MOORE, a 25-year-old Indianapolis man, has been indicted on bank robbery and firearms charges after allegedly robbing a BMO Harris Bank in Lisle, Illinois, on February 16, 2023. Moore is accused of brandishing a firearm, pointing it at a bank employee and demanding the employee and another remove money from the bank’s vault.

According to the indictment and unsealed criminal complaint, Moore’s actions were carried out with force, violence, and intimidation. Law enforcement tracked Moore’s location to a Chicago warehouse where he was arrested. He has been in custody since.

The indictment is announced by Morris Pasqual, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Robert W. Wheeler, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Valuable assistance was provided by the Lisle Police Department, the Chicago Police Department, and the Villa Park Police Department.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sushma Raju. The public is reminded that an indictment contains only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Moore faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison for the bank robbery charge and up to life in federal prison for the firearms charge. If convicted, the Court must impose a reasonable sentence under federal statutes and the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.

ANTONIO MOORE is currently in custody awaiting trial. The case is a stark reminder of the severity of bank robbery and the importance of community cooperation in preventing and solving such crimes.
