On April 22, 2107, at approximately 5:00 a.m., the Circle K in the Village of Oak Creek was robbed. The store is located at the intersection of Bell Rock Blvd and Highway 179.
The clerk told deputies a male came into the store and walked directly to the counter. He was described as a white male approximately 6’00 in height, weighing approximately 170 pounds and wearing a blue long sleeve hoodie, faded (stonewashed) blue jeans, sunglasses, and white tennis shoes that looked almost new. The suspect had the hood of his hoodie pulled up, so there was no hair color or facial description available. The clerk said the suspect appeared right handed.
The suspect told the clerk to give him money from the register or he was going to shoot the clerk. The suspect had his hands in his pockets and was moving them in such a motion that made the clerk believe he was trying to show he had a gun or make the clerk think he had a gun. No gun was seen by the clerk. The clerk complied with the demand and gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash from the register.
Deputies searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Businesses in the vicinity were also provided suspect description details.
