WINFIELD | Two people were being held for questioning late Friday in connection with an armed robbery earlier at a Winfield bank, Lake County police spokeswoman Patti Van Til said.
About 11 a.m. Friday, a man entered the First Midwest Bank at 10858 Pike St. and displayed a gun, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Department. The man then fled on foot toward the Walgreens at 109th and Randolph streets.
