Video captures woman screaming for help during armed robbery in Frankfort parking lot

FRANKFORT, Ill. - Authorities in southwest suburban Frankfort have released video in the hopes someone can identify the people responsible for robbing a woman at gunpoint last week.

The woman was walking to her car in a parking lot near 28 West Nebraska Street around 9:30 p.m. on Friday when a dark sedan approached her, according to a statement from Frankfort police.

In the video, the woman could be heard screaming for help as two suspects chased her while pointing a gun. The woman wasn't physically injured in the incident, but the suspect was able to take her purse, the statement said.

Police described one of the suspects as a Black male, standing about 6-foot and weighing around 200 pounds. He was wearing dark clothing and a cloth mask at the time of the robbery.

Officials were unable to provide a description of the suspect's vehicle, other than to say only one of its headlights was working. Police could not provide a description of the driver either.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Frankfort police at 815-469-9435.
