Batavia police searching for man who robbed gas station at gunpoint Monday

Batavia police are searching for a man who they say robbed a Speedway gas station at gunpoint early Monday.

Batavia officers responded to a call at 1:37 a.m. Jan. 6 at the gas station, 1495 E. Wison St., where a store clerk said they’d just been robbed by a masked man with a handgun who demanded money and lottery tickets.

The clerk described the person as a Black man, about 40 years old, wearing a black ski mask, black parka-style coat and gloves.

Batavia police and Kane County Sheriff’s deputies searched the area and deployed a drone and police dogs but were unable to find the suspect.

No one was hurt during the robbery. Batavia Police ask that anyone with information call investigators at (630) 454-2500.
