The Lake County Attorney’s Office said Francisco Martinez, 32, entered a First Midwest Bank branch in Round Lake on Dec. 20, 2021, and handed a teller a folded piece of paper that read, “40k, 30 seconds, no tricks, go now.” He then raised his shirt, demonstrating what appeared to be a firearm tucked into his waistband. Martinez also briefly grabbed a customer and threatened to take her with him from the bank. All of Martinez’s demands were met, and he fled the bank with cash in hand.
