La Grange Police are on the lookout for a young man who robbed a cellular telephone store at knifepoint during broad daylight Wednesday afternoon.
The armed robbery took place at the new Cricket store at 1040 S. La Grange Road, at approximately 3:40 p.m.
A store employee told police the suspect -- described as a white man with blonde hair and about 20 years old, wearing jeans, white shoes and a grey hoodie -- walked into the business and sat down with his hood partially covering his face and announced the holdup, according to Sergeant Vic Arnold.
"He walked in alone, sat down and told the clerk 'Give me all your money," got it and left," said Arnold, who confirmed the suspect got away with $100 cash.
The suspect was last seen southbound on foot in the alley behind the Clark gas station, which is closed, fenced-in and under renovation. However, responding officers could not locate anybody.
"We didn't make an apprehension," Arnold reported, adding investigators are now analyzing a videotape from a store security camera in an attempt to further identify the offender.
No injuries were reported and the store was back in business shortly afterward.
Anyone with information leading to the capture of a suspect in this case is urged to call the La Grange Police Department at (708) 579-2333.
