Dunkin' Donuts Employee Jumps Out Window To Escape Robbers
GLEN ELLYN (CBS) -- Police said a Dunkin' Donuts employee escaped a pair of robbers Monday morning by jumping out the drive-through window.
Glen Ellyn authorities said the two robbers entered the restaurant on Roosevelt Road around 1 a.m. and demanded money from the cash register. The worker was by himself. One of the robbers was armed with a pair of long scissors. WBBM's Steve Miller reports.
Assistant Police Chief Bill Holmer said one robber got distracted by the other, giving the employee time to escape unharmed. The employee escaped through the drive-up window, ran to a nearby business and called 911.
"They received a call from the employee who had been able to escape by diving out of the drive-up window while the robbery was in progress," Holmer said.
Holmer said the two robbers worked for Dunkin' Donuts in the past.
Lauren M. Petty, 31; and Otis L. Ramsey, 46, are each charged with armed robbery, according to Glen Ellyn police.
They were arrested in the parking lot of a nearby hotel where they lived.
