Man sought in North Aurora liquor store robbery

North Aurora police are looking for a man who robbed the Sunny Liquors store around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Lincolnway and State Street.

Police say a man entered the store and, after walking around for a few minutes, asked a clerk for a specific type of liquor, then left the store.

He returned less than a minute later, showed a gun, and demanded cash from the register.

He then ran east toward the Fox River.

The clerk was not injured.

The man had a full beard, and wore a white or gray hooded Nike sweatshirt, a white Chicago Blackhawks hat, dark sunglasses, dark jeans and a glove on his right hand. He appeared to have a tattoo or writing on his left hand or wrist.

The weapon was described as a black semi-automatic pistol, with a plastic bag over the barrel.
