The offenders then jumped into a waiting car as a third man drove them away.

"A short while later officers observed a vehicle matching that of the offenders, parked in the 200 Blk. of Richmond in Evanston. Officers approached this vehicle, finding it occupied by three male subjects and a pizza box in the rear seat," the statement read.

A search of the car uncovered the stolen items, police said, and a BB gun. The following people have been charged with a felony count of aggravated robbery:
