Villa Park Police Seek Armed Robbery Suspects
VILLA PARK, Ill. (STMW) - Police in west suburban Villa Park have released surveillance photos of two men who robbed a 7-Eleven store at gunpoint earlier this month, in an attempt to identify and arrest the robbers.
At 11 p.m. on Sept. 13, Villa Park Police responded to the 7-Eleven store at Villa and Wildwood for an armed robbery that just occurred. At least one of the two men was armed with a semi-automatic handgun, an alert from police said.
The two are described as white or Hispanic males, both with thin builds, the alert said. One, who was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun, was wearing a light blue Under Armour hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes with white laces, while the other suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and white shoes.
There may have been a third suspect also waiting outside the store, the alert said. The offenders were last seen running westbound from the store on Wildwood Street.
