The Oak Lawn Police Department on Friday released a surveillance image of a vehicle wanted in connection with a brazen armed robbery at a convenience store.
The robbery was reported around 7:01 a.m. at the 7-Eleven, 4501 W. 95th St., near South Kilbourn Avenue. According to Oak Lawn police, five masked men entered the store, ordered customers to the ground and robbed them and the store of cash.
One of the suspects attempted to steal a customer’s vehicle parked in the front lot but was unsuccessful, police said. The group was seen leaving northbound on Kilbourn in a dark gray Jeep Cherokee with Illinois temporary tag 163AC317, which was reported stolen.
The same crew was suspected of multiple crimes in the southwest suburbs and northwest Indiana, police said. One such robbery was reported Thursday at the 7-Eleven, 11459 S. Kedzie Ave., in Merrionette Park.
Anyone with information about the vehicle’s location or additional details was asked to call the Oak Lawn Police Department Detective Division at 708-907-4051.
