Police: Crest Hill 7-Eleven robbed

CREST HILL – Masked bandits held up a 7-Eleven on Plainfield Road in Crest Hill early Thursday morning, police said.

Police officers were reportedly dispatched about 5 a.m. to the convenience store at 1800 Plainfield Road, Crest Hill. The 7-Eleven is just north of the intersection of Larkin Avenue and Plainfield Road.

“They made off with an undisclosed amount of money,” Clark said.

Clark said the department doesn’t have a description of the getaway car at this time, nor a description of the robbers, other than that they had their faces covered.
