Police and prosecutors said Mario Garcia, 39, and Domingo Garcia-Hernandez, 28, who live about a block away from the restaurant they allegedly tried to rob, had their bail set at $25,000 each after being arrested early Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported. Their next court appearance on attempted aggravated robbery charges will be next Monday, the newspaper said.

A police report stated that even though Garcia-Hernandez allegedly told the restaurant owner he had a gun and would kill him during the Sunday night holdup attempt, the owner told them he was too busy and asked them to come back in an hour. They left and the owner called police, who arrested them when they returned about 12:30 a.m. Monday. Garcia had a metal baseball bat with him when taken into custody, police alleged.
