Zion police officers responded about 1:03 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, 2020 to a report of an armed robbery of a motor vehicle in the block of 2600 Sheridan Road. The 24-year old male victim reported that he had just left his residence and entered his vehicle when he was approached by a group of five male/black subjects. Some may have been juveniles.
