Glenview police are trying to identify a man who robbed a smoothie café Monday evening in the northern suburb.

A man wearing all black clothing and a black full-face mask entered Tropical Smoothie Cafe, 2759 Pfingsten Road, around 9 p.m. He walked behind the counter, flashed a gun in his waistband and demanded cash from the register, police said.

After the employees complied, he left the business and fled in an unknown direction.

A witness reported seeing a silver/gray work van parked in the parking lot near the business, according to police. The van's driver was about 40-years-old and his passenger was roughly 20-years-old.
