BLOOMINGTON — Police in Bloomington are investigating a Monday morning armed robbery — at least the 10th since early December.
Police were called at 11:15 a.m. to Check Into Cash, 2303 East Washington St. Police said a black man who was 5 feet 8 inches tall and armed with a gun entered the store and demanded money from an employee.
The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and property and left on foot.
There were no injuries reported, and no other details were available Monday afternoon.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Bloomington police Detective Jared Roth at 309-434-2379 or email him at Jroth@cityblm.org.
It was not immediately known if the robbery had any connection to a string of earlier, unsolved armed robberies in the Twin Cities. But police said officers are investigating that possibility.
Police previously said one individual may be responsible for at least seven of nine previous armed robberies at local businesses since Dec. 8. Because of that connection, the police have given the suspect a nickname in hopes of drawing more attention to the cases.
Police say the “Business Bandit” is a black male who is 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build. In several of the incidents, the suspect was wearing a black hooded jacket with button or snap pockets on the front sides of the coat.
If you want to remain anonymous, call McLean County Crime Stoppers at 309-828-1111. If your call leads to the arrest and indictment of suspect(s) you may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
