The use of social media has helped build a case against two bank robbery suspects who have been linked to a recent robbery attempt in Momence.
Ronald Corbin, 49, and Dennis Gallivan, 58, both of Lafayette, Ind., were arrested last week by Urbana police. The pair are suspects in the attempted robbery of Municipal Trust and Savings Bank in Momence on Sept. 6, and are suspects in a bank robbery that occurred in Urbana on Sept. 10.
According to a news release issued Thursday by Momence Police Chief Timothy Swanson, a video of the Momence incident was posted on the Facebook pages of the Momence Police Department and the Kankakee County Sheriff's Department.
It was seen by Urbana police. When Corbin was arrested, he possessed an identical green shirt, safari-style hat and gun that he allegedly had when the Momence crime took place.
The pair are suspects in a dozen bank robberies in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
