The next day around 12:15 p.m., Kenosha police responded to the Associated Bank inside the Pick ‘N Save store at 75th Street and 60th Avenue  for a report of an armed bank robbery. The suspect, who officials say appears to be the same suspect in the Family Video robbery, displayed a handgun and demanded money from the tellers. After receiving several thousand dollars, he then fled the store. It is unknown if he entered a vehicle or left on foot. No one was injured during the robbery.

The suspect was described as a middle-aged male, white. In both robberies the suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored pants and shoes and was carrying a black backpack. The suspect was also wearing a blue bandanna over his face.
