A man has been arrested for allegedly robbing two suburban Chicago banks in recent weeks.
According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Antonio E. Collins, 26, of North Riverside, Ill., handed tellers handwritten notes demanding money and stating that he would shoot people if they did not comply.
The first robbery occurred at a Chase Bank branch in Bolingbrook, Ill., on Dec. 21, 2021, where Collins made off with approximately $2,868 in cash. The second robbery took place at a BMO Harris Bank branch in Homewood, Ill., on Jan. 3, 2022, netting Collins approximately $21,836 in cash.

A detention hearing in federal court in Chicago is scheduled for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sunil R. Harjani.
