2 Hit Evergreen Park Dunkin' Donuts In Brazen Takeover Robbery: Police

EVERGREEN PARK, IL—A pair of robbers held up a donut shop at gunpoint Tuesday morning.

Evergreen Park officers responded to a report of a takeover armed robbery early Tuesday morning at Dunkin’ Donuts near 98th Street and Western Avenue.

A preliminary investigation revealed that two people exited a dark-colored sedan and proceeded into the donut shop. One of them was armed, police said.

A surveillance video provided by the owners and posted on the 19th Ward News Facebook page, showed orders were still being taken at the drive-thru window. All that stopped when the person with the gun jumped over the counter and ushered employees into the back.

The purported robbers demanded money from employees and cash registers. They fled with an unknown amount of cash in the same car they pulled up in, where a third person was believed to be waiting, according to the video.

This remains an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Evergreen Park detectives at 708-422-2142.
