Armed robbers targeted 3 stores in 90 minutes, attack clerk, mug customer

CHICAGO — Four armed men robbed three stores in under 90 minutes on Friday morning, punching one store’s employee and also robbing a customer at one location, according to Chicago police.

In a new community alert, CPD said the crew traveled in a gray Kia Sorrento as they went about their spree, which started at 7-Eleven, 2600 North Lincoln in Lincoln Park. The men, wearing masks and gloves and armed with guns, forced the cashier to open the cash register around 2:21 a.m.

They battered a male cashier while robbing 7-Eleven at 3005 North Pulaski at 3:43 a.m.

Just a few minutes later, the group robbed Subway, 3207 West Diversey.

CPD’s alert described the suspects as four Black males wearing black ski masks, black hoodies, black pants, and gloves.
