FAIRMOUNT, Ill. (UPI) -- A man who went to rob a bank in Illinois was foiled when bank employees didn't believe his threats, the Champaign News-Gazette reported.
Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn said a man entered an Illinois National Bank branch in Fairmount Friday with his face covered, carrying a black bag.
"He told everybody to get down, that it was a robbery," Hartshorn said. "He told everybody he had a bomb."
But workers at the bank reportedly didn't believe the would-be robber and he eventually left the bank empty-handed.
Police are investigating.
