Sketch of Arlington Heights attempted robbery suspect released

Arlington Heights police on Friday released a sketch of a man suspected of trying to rob a Sally Beauty Supply store earlier this month.

The attempted robbery occurred at 2:29 p.m. Tuesday, April 11, at 1050 S. Arlington Heights Road, authorities said. The artist's rendering follows the earlier release of store surveillance images.

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.

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.
