Man tries to rob Arlington Heights beauty store
Arlington Heights police are looking for a man who tried to rob a Sally Beauty Supply store.
The attempted robbery occurred at 2:29 p.m. Tuesday at 1050 S. Arlington Heights Road, authorities said.
Police said the suspect gave the cashier $3 for a small hair care product, but when the register opened, he reached over the counter and tried to take money. The cashier held onto the cash, which began to tear, and the offender ran away, according to a crime alert issued Wednesday.
A witness saw the man arrive in a gold-colored vehicle, possibly a Chevy Malibu. The suspect is described as white, in his late 30s, approximately 6 feet tall, with brown hair, a medium build, and wearing a black windbreaker jacket and dark pants.
