BALDWIN, Mich. — The Lake County Sheriff's Office reports two "persons of interest" in a bank robbery that triggered a school lockdown and evacuation.

On Thursday, Sept. 22, two bank robbers came into the Lake-Osceola State Bank in Luther. They passed the teller a note claiming a bomb was planted at an unspecified school.

As a precaution, Baldwin Community Schools quickly went into lockdown and removed students from the premises. Authorities declared the school buildings safe by the end of the day.
