Overview
- Deputies say two men followed the woman home from a grocery store, confronted her in her garage at gunpoint, forced her inside, and bound her wrists and ankles with items from the home.
- The suspects demanded her credit card PIN and soon withdrew $2,000 from her account at a bank in Orland Park, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office.
- Investigators identified the getaway car as a dark-colored Acura stolen out of Chicago and believed the offenders were headed back to the city, but they did not locate the vehicle.
- About 20 minutes after the offenders left, the woman freed herself and went to a neighbor for help; the mayor said she was shaken but not injured.
- No arrests have been made as the investigation continues, and the mayor urged vigilance; she also said a similar incident was reported in Lemont, with details pending.
