Authorities reported no injuries, and both FBI agents and Naperville officers stayed at the bank while the investigation continued. As of late Thursday, officials had not released any suspect description or said what, if anything, was taken.

Local Context

Suburban departments routinely coordinate with the Chicago FBI office on cases that may cross municipal boundaries or involve ATMs and armored carriers.

So far, Naperville police and the FBI have not announced any suspects, charges, or recovery of stolen property. This story will be updated as agencies release additional statements and public records become available.
