Teen Robbed Restaurant Tip Jar And Ran: Cops

GLENCOE, IL — A pair of teens are suspected of robbing a Glencoe sandwich stop after trying to sell candy door to door Saturday afternoon. An 18-year-old Chicago resident was charged with robbery, while his juvenile companion was turned over to the Dupage County Sheriff for an outstanding warrant and not charged in connection with the robbery.

The first call police received was a report of three people soliciting without a permit in Glencoe. One was located and cited for soliciting without a permit but two others were not located, according to Glencoe Deputy Chief Richard Weiner.

A short time later, police got a call from the Subway location at 79 Green Bay Road, where someone had just reportedly grabbed the tip jar and run out of the store, Weiner said.

Glencoe officers, with assistance from Northfield and Winnetka police found two people nearby a little while later and took them into custody without incident. Weiner said the amount of money in the tip jar was not immediately known.

Tywan S. Locke, of the 1800 block of South Hamlin Avenue in Chicago, was arrested shortly after 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of Foxdale Avenue and Eldorado Street in Winnetka and charged with robbery in connection with the incident, according to police.
