A Riverside man is accused of threatening to shoot people while robbing two banks in suburban Homewood and Bolingbrook.
Antonio Collins, 26, robbed a Chase Bank branch in Bolingbrook on Dec. 21, and a BMO Harris Bank branch in Homewood on Jan. 3, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
In both robberies, Collins handed a note to a teller demanding money and stating he would shoot people if the teller didn’t comply, prosecutors said.
Collins made off with about $2,868 from the Chase robbery and $21,836 from the robbery at the BMO Harris branch, prosecutors said.
He was arrested Jan. 6 and charged with two counts of bank robbery. Each charge is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.
