The male suspect pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded he open the register at 2:58 a.m. inside the store in the 500 block of West Lake Street, according to Chicago police.
A 7-Eleven is located in that block at 567 W. Lake St.
The suspect ran with cash and cigarettes, police said. He got into the passenger side of a white SUV, which drove off.
The clerk was unable to see the SUV’s driver, police said. No injuries were reported.
No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.
