The McHenry Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect who robbed the First Midwest Bank Friday afternoon.

Police were called at 4 p.m. Friday to the First Midwest Bank, 4502 West Crystal Lake Road in McHenry, for a bank robbery. Officers secured the area and learned that the suspect handed a note to the teller demanding money.

      1. No, they are not being considerate. The sign is a warning. It means the minute someone walks up/in to the door (wearing a hat, or sunglasses or anything else that obscures their face) they are immediately suspected and bank personnel can react accordingly.
