Arlington Heights police received a report just before 11:30 p.m. Wednesday of a strong arm robbery near XSport Fitness, 960 West Dundee Road. A male subject came into the XSport Fitness gym and told an employee of the gym that he was just ‘jumped’ by two male/black subjects. The two offenders were reported to have robbed the male subject of his cell phone about 11:20 p.m. Wednesday.
The offenders were described as (1) male/black, 20-25 years-old 5’8″ to 5’10” with a thin build and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with white lettering and jeans; and (2) a male/black, 20-25 years-old 5’8″ to 5’10” cornrow braid hair style, wearing dark clothing and jeans with a red bandana over his face.
The offenders were last seen eastbound on foot from the Xsport Fitness, heading toward Kohl’s and Ridge Avenue.
Last Friday about 4:20 p.m., a male/black subject wearing a Northwestern sweatshirt grabbed two Apple iPhones and ran while a store clerk was showing the phones inside the AT&T store, less than one block west of XSport Fitness (See The Cardinal Retail Theft of 2 Apple iPhones from AT&T Store on Dundee Rd).
