Naperville police responded about 1:08 a.m. Monday August 21, 2017 a report of an armed robbery in block of 600 South Route 59. Police received a report that two men robbed a 14-year-old boy of his handbag containing electronics. One of the male offenders was armed with a silver and black semi-automatic handgun, according to police.

The second offender, armed with the gun, is described as a male/black in his late teens, 6’0″ with a medium build, a small goatee, and black hair in a bun. He was wearing a red shirt, black shoes and earrings.
Before Naperville police arrived, the two men left the scene in a red vehicle with front end damage, according to the victim. Police spotted the suspected offenders’ vehicle and attempted to stop the vehicle.
