The victim was inside the gas station when he saw someone enter his vehicle and steal his phone and wallet, police said. The victim confronted the suspect and the suspect pointed a plastic bag at the victim, suggesting he had a gun.

The suspect then drove off in a silver 2024 Honda CRV. The vehicle was later recovered by Chicago police. It had been burned out and was previously reported stolen in a Chicago carjacking. The vehicle also matched the description of a car wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Worth.
