Bolingbrook T-Mobile Robbed at Gunpoint: Police

Bolingbrook police responded to a broad daylight armed robbery at a T-Mobile store, 745 E. Boughton Rd., on Sept. 3.

Police said two unknown subjects entered the store just before noon. One of the suspects displayed a handgun and demanded cell phones and tablets from the store safe. The gun-wielding robber also took personal cell phones from all the customers in the store before the pair fled out the back door.

Sgt. Mike Rompa told the Herald-News that the same suspects may have robbed another T-Mobile store, this one in Lockport, two days later. On Friday, two men entered the 16600 W. 159th St. store at 7:45 p.m. with a gun and demanded cell phones and tablets, police said.

The suspects in both incidents are described as black men in their early 20s. The Lockport robbers were both wearing beige hoodies and may have escaped in a light blue sedan, according to the Herald-News.

No one was injured in the robberies.

Last Wednesday’s armed robbery is the second broad-daylight robbery in less than a month in Bolingbrook. On Aug. 11, a man robbed the Bolingbrook First Midwest Bank and shot and wounded a teller. The suspect is still at large, according to the FBI. A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the suspect, described as a black male in his late teens or early 20s with a thin build.
