Police seek suspects in Arlington Heights robbery

Arlington Heights police are seeking the public’s help in identifying and locating three men who robbed a woman of her phone, purse and other belongings outside her residence early Sunday morning.

Police said the woman was talking on her phone while walking through her apartment complex’s parking lot in the 700 block of East Algonquin Road at about 1:40 a.m. when the men approached.
