At 5:11 a.m., the 7-Eleven at 1055 West Bryn Mawr Avenue was robbed. The convenience store is locate near the intersection of North Kenmore and West Bryn Mawr Avenues.
The offender was described as an African-American man and approximately 5'11". He was last seen wearing a black skull cap.
According to the store clerk, the crook implied he had a gun and ordered the clerk to hand over the contents of the cash register.
After the robbery, the suspect fled the scene westbound on Bryn Mawr - on foot.
So close to the lake..guess he couldn't run any direction but west. Again I say, I don't think these places need to be open for "business" 24 hours and if they must be than they need extra security to protect their employees.
ReplyDeleteI know I have said this before, but every time I walk into a store and see a woman working alone, I get sick. I don't know if this clerk was male or female, but regardless of sex, it's still a dangerous job.
ReplyDeleteIf these stores really cared about their employees safety, they would make it harder for thieves to victimize or traumatize them.
Perhaps people need to stop going to these places, basically boycott them, until they add extra security. One of these days/nights, a customer is going to walk in right in the middle of an armed robbery and get shot. BOYCOTT them UNTIL they get extra security!
ReplyDeleteI'm still a night owl, but I am never on the streets late at night. I get my business done during the day.
ReplyDeleteI would hate to boycott a store and have someone lose their job, but I also hate the idea of someone losing their life, because an employer is too cheap to be concerned about their safety.
By default, because I'm in indoors late nights/early mornings, I already boycott such businesses. :)
ReplyDeleteI boycott businesses that don't shovel too. :)
