A Dunning resident’s quick stop at the gas station ended much differently than anyone would hope this morning.

The stolen vehicle is a green 1998 Dodge Caravan with three fish on the back window. It was last seen going westbound on Irving Park from Broadway.
Witnesses describe the offender as male, Hispanic, about 30 years old, 6′ to 6’3″ tall, wearing a black coat that has white areas under the arms and on the sides.
