MADISON, Wis. — Following up on a surprise offer from Wisconsin bankers to help solve a Sept. 26 credit union kidnap/robbery, the Wisconsin Credit Union League announced today it also is offering a $10,000 reward for leads on the crime which took place at a Racine branch of a Milwaukee CU.

The league, which yesterday thanked the Wisconsin Bankers Association for a similar $10,000 reward offer, said the funds would go toward arresting and convicting the perpetrators of the kidnap and robbery of a Landmark CU employee and her son
