BLOOMINGTON – Officers here are asking the public for help to solve an armed robbery that occurred earlier this week.
According to the Bloomington Police Department, two people wearing dark clothing, masks and gloves entered a business in the 3000 block of East Empire Street, displayed a weapon and took personal property, business property, and an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing.
The incident occurred at about 2 a.m.
It’s the departmental policy not to release any information about victims, including the name of a business without permission. On that block, however, are a Carle BroMenn Outpatient Center, Ancho & Agave restaurant and Biaggi’s Ristorante Italiano.
No one was injured, police said.
“BPD detectives are working diligently to investigate this violent crime. I encourage anyone who has any knowledge about this armed robbery to provide information to our detectives,” said Chief Jamal Simington. “Let’s work together, once again, to demonstrate this illegal conduct is unacceptable in our community and the victims deserve justice.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Weston Gresham at (309) 434-2570 or [email protected].
