Two masked men tied up Walgreens staffers during an armed robbery in the Gold Coast neighborhood late Sunday. 

In all, the thieves got away with about $10,000 which they stashed in a “rolling suitcase” while they carried out the robbery, about 9:40 p.m. at the 933 N. State St.

No one was injured in the attack, which began when one robber confronted a worker in the back of the store, placed the butt of a black gun against his spine and told him to “open the door,” according to a police report.

Once in the back office, another staffer who was counting money and the worker attacked first were held at gunpoint and ordered to lie face-down on the floor while the robbers placed packing tape over their mouths and at least one of their wrists, according to the report.

One of the robbers appeared “calm” and said: “We just came for the money,” while the other was “much more hostile,” and used expletives while giving orders, the report said. They walked out of the store unnoticed with the suitcase after they ordered workers to open the safe and fill it with cash.

Police said both robbers were between the ages of 20 and 27, wore COVID masks over their faces, were Black, wore black clothing and brandished guns.

One was taller - about 6-foot to 6-foot-4, weighed about 230 pounds, and was wearing orange and white “colorful” gym shoes and blue surgical gloves. The other robber was between 5-foot-10 to 6-foot and weighed about 180 pounds. 

No arrests were made.
