ROBBERS
CARRYING A LARGE BLUE BAG
Chicago, IL – June 5, 2007
At 5:15 p.m. two black male suspects rang the doorbell of a retail
jewelry store. The female store owner saw one suspect carrying a large
blue bag, thought he was a postal worker, and let them in. Once inside,
the suspects put black nylon masks over their faces. One suspect put
a gun to the owner’s head, and another tied her to a chair in
another room. They removed jewelry and fled. Suspect #1 is described
as 5’10”, 190 lbs., dark complexion, wearing a black baseball
cap, white tee shirt, black jeans and white gym shorts. Both were
described as 20-30 years old. The second suspect was wearing a blue
baseball cap, light blue shirt, blue shorts and black shoes.
