Batavia bank robbed; 2 suspects said to be arrested

Two people were arrested Tuesday after the Old Second National Bank branch in Batavia was robbed.

Batavia police said they were dispatched to the bank at 1991 W. Wilson St. at 2:05 p.m., and after obtaining a description of the getaway vehicle from witnesses and learning its location, pursued it.

Police from Batavia ended the chase in Aurora, while police from other departments continued pursuing. But the vehicle was found a short time later in a parking lot in Yorkville, Batavia police said.

The two suspects have not yet been charged or named. Police said nobody was hurt and they do not believe there is a threat to the public.

Batavia High School, at 1200 W. Wilson, was locked down briefly, until police determined the suspects had left Batavia, they said.

The FBI and police are investigating.
