Oak Lawn Police Department Releases Surveillance Image of Vehicle Wanted in Connection with Armed Robbery
The Oak Lawn Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a vehicle involved in a brazen armed robbery at a convenience store. The incident occurred on Friday morning at the 7-Eleven located at 4501 W. 95th St., near South Kilbourn Avenue.
According to the Oak Lawn police, five masked men entered the store at around 7:01 a.m. and ordered the customers to the ground. They then proceeded to rob both the customers and the store of cash. One of the suspects even attempted to steal a customer’s vehicle that was parked in the front lot, but was unsuccessful.
The group was last seen leaving the scene in a dark gray Jeep Cherokee with Illinois temporary tag 163AC317, which was later reported stolen. The same group is believed to be responsible for numerous crimes in the southwest suburbs and northwest Indiana. One such robbery was reported just the day before at the 7-Eleven in Merrionette Park.
The Oak Lawn Police Department is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of the vehicle or any additional details to come forward and contact the Detective Division at 708-907-4051. Your help could be crucial in bringing these criminals to justice.
