Man robs Lisle gas station at gunpoint

Lisle police are investigating the armed robbery of a gas station early Monday morning.

A man entered the Speedway at 550 Ogden Ave. just after midnight and acted like he was paying for Cheetos, according to a news release from Lisle police.

After the register was open, the man displayed a handgun and took money from the register, police said.

The suspect is described as a black man, approximately 6 feet tall with an athletic build. He was wearing brown work boots, blue jeans, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black stocking hat, a dark surgical mask, and a black and gray letterman-style jacket with a "U" shaped logo on the upper left chest.

He ran east toward Ivanhoe Avenue, police said.

Anyone with information should call the Lisle Police Department's Investigations Unit at (630) 271-4200.
