Community Alert - Armed Robbery

Darien Police Department Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Community Alert-Armed Robbery

On August 6, 2016 at the Circle K gas station, 8975 Lemont Road, a couple was robbed at gun point by a male black subject. The vehicle used, originally stolen out of Darien, is suspected of being used in a number of armed robberies in the area. All of the subjects involved have been described as male black subjects, young in age, approximately 14-20 years of age. We believe these are connected to a rash of burglaries to motor vehicles in the area as well as stolen autos and other armed robberies. Be assured your Police Department is working hard with the surrounding agencies to apprehend these subjects.

Some Tips:
Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to any suspicious people or vehicles. If your intuition tells you something doesn't feel right, get away to a safe location. Never feel embarrassed that your actions might offend someone, do what is needed to keep yourself safe both at home and in public places. Don't be afraid to call 911, officers are glad to make sure you are safe. Try to keep your property well-lit and stay in well-lit areas when away from home.

If you are being robbed do not put yourself in danger, it is better to give them your valuables, they can be replaced, you cannot. Report the crime as soon as possible, taking mental notes without being obvious about it will allow you to pass on details that can help catch the offenders at a later date. Please dial 911 to report any suspicious people or activity.
