The Chicago Office of the FBI announced that 30-year-old Patrick R. Martin of Ada, and 46-year-old John R. Gower of Fairview, Oklahoma are suspects in the robbery of the First National Bank of South Holland Illinois.

The bank manager told authorities they received a telephone call thursday thursday morning from someone who claimed a bomb had been placed in the bank.

Martin reportedly entered the bank, left with 95 thousand dollars, and got into a car driven by Gower.
