Niles police released a statement Monday afternoon saying they responded to a report of an armed robbery. The offender entered the store, an employee walked to the front of the store to wait on what the employee thought was a customer, and the suspect displayed a handgun and demanded money from the cash register, according to police.
The employee placed an undetermined amount of money into a back pack the offender brought with him and he left the store.
The employee was not hurt, and neither were two other employees who remained in the rear of the store. No surveillance video was available.
According to police, the offender is described as a male in his mid 30’s, approximately 5’10’, 200 lbs, wearing dark sunglasses, black jacket with the hood covering his head, and armed with a handgun.
