Police are searching for a suspect in the armed robbery of a BP gas station in Sugar Grove early this morning.
At approximately 2:49am, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office was summoned to the BP Gas Station, located at 9S595 Illinois Route 47 in Sugar Grove Township, for a report of an armed robbery.
Based on information gathered to this point, an African American male in his early twenties, between 5’8” and 6’0”, entered the store dressed in all black, wearing white gloves, black shoes, and a surgical mask. A weapon was implied while his hand was concealed within a crossbody sling bag.
The male took $200.00 from the store clerk, who had been cleaning up after the gas station was closed; the front doors had not been secured.
The male then left the store in a vehicle described as possibly a gray or blue 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu. It was last seen driving eastbound on Jericho Road from Illinois Route 47.
Police are working on a photograph to disseminate for potential identification. It is unknown how many individuals might have been inside of the vehicle also at the time of the armed robbery.
Police are still investigating the incident and working to obtain evidence, witness statements, and videos that may assist in the identifying the suspect.
Anyone who witnessed or has any information related to the armed robbery is asked to contact the Kane County Investigations Division at 630-444-1103.
