According to the 911 caller, the Chicago, Edgewater Family Dollar store at 5725 North Broadway Street, was being robbed at gunpoint.
Apparently, two offenders were involved in the crime. Both suspects were described as African-American men.
One suspect was wearing a black jacket and a red scarf over his face. His pants were also sagging. The second crook is about 6’2” and was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt. He was armed with a blue steel pistol.
Police did not disclose the amount of money stolen from the Edgewater Family Dollar store.
Authorities said the store was robbed last week.
Initially, it wasn't clear if anything was stolen, but a Chicago police officer confirmed the store was actually robbed.
ReplyDeleteOMG. When I do go in this store, it's right about the time this robbery occurred. Getting Unscented White Rain and Chewy Lemonhead & Friends for a buck just ain't worth it. It ain't worth it.
ReplyDeleteWTF! This is the store I go to to get my "necco's" that they order for me. I sure hope no one got injured but I'm sure they are quite shaken up. Ghetto thugs again! Useless scumbags occupying precious space. Always in pairs so keep a look out for this MO!
ReplyDeleteTowanda, according to the 911 operator, the person who called 911 was terrified! All the person could say was, "A man with a gun is robbing the store! A man with a gun is robbing the store!"
ReplyDeleteNo ambulances were called to the scene. So, I don't think anyone was physically injured. Psychologically inured? Yes.
We know all the employees in that store and my partner will be going in to pick up my "Necco's" maybe tomorrow so we'll know how they're doing. they're pretty nice people in there. Too bad the were on the "list"..seems a lot of family dollars and 7/11's are getting hit..hell, EVERY place is getting hit BUT I don't want to be "paranoid" or anything:)
ReplyDeleteTowanda, be sure to let me know how the employees are doing.
ReplyDeletetowanda,
ReplyDeleteIs "Necco" some kind of candy? :)
Rudy, Necco makes wafers, mints, and sweetheart candies. According to their website, they have been around since 1847!!!! :-O
ReplyDeleteThanks, Timothy! :)
ReplyDeletemy partner was in there today, talked to a couple of the employees and they seem to be fine, no one hurt and not much money from the register was taken because they had counted it down and put it in the safe earlier so that was a lucky break. Other than that, they didn't want to say anything else. Probably tired of talking about it
ReplyDeleteThank you for that report. I'm glad to hear they are okay.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Timothy:) Wish I could have walked over there to see them:(
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're ok. :)
