Two men wearing hard hats and reflective vests robbed a Metro PCS store at gunpoint Thursday afternoon in Waukegan.

The store in the first block of South Green Bay Road was robbed by two suspects about 3:20 p.m., according to Waukegan police.

The suspects were described as black men in their mid-to-late 20s wearing construction hard hats, yellow and orange reflective traffic safety vests and sunglasses, police said. One was about 5-foot-5 and stocky, and the other was about 6-foot and thinner.

They got away with cash and items from the store and were last seen running away, police said.
