Low Bob’s Discount Tobacco, located at 3890 W. Third St., was robbed Sunday by an unknown white man wielding a handgun.
The suspect was wearing a blue T-shirt and blue jeans. He had a goatee and was wearing sunglasses and a camouflage hat to hide the rest of his face.
Police received the robbery call at 3:52 p.m. Sunday. The manager of the store said a white man walked into the store and revealed to the female clerks that he had a handgun. He reportedly told the clerks to give him all the money in the cash register.
For the sake of the ongoing investigation, the Bloomington Police Department is not currently revealing the amount of cash taken.
After the clerks got the money from the register and handed it over, the man left the store. He drove away in what was described by the manager as a gray or silver painter’s van.
BPD is still investigating the situation. Any tips should be directed to BPD at 812-339-4477.
