A mother and her boyfriend robbed the Wauconda Community Bank in Island Lake, Illinois in December.

The robbery was successful, the boyfriend ended up taking over $4,000 from the bank during the stick-up. A bystander told police of what the suspects looked like and they were both arrested.

The sad thing is that while the whole thing was going on the mother's 5 year old son was outside waiting in the car, clueless as to what was going on.

The plan was to for the boyfriend go inside and start the robbery, the mother then got out of the car and strap her son in tightly with the seat belt so when the robbery was over the could flee the scene. The mother has since been released on bond and the CPS is looking into the situation. The boyfriend still remains behind bars.
