Teen Robbed at Gunpoint in Willow Avenue Alley

JOLIET, IL — A teen walking home through a Willow Avenue alley was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday night.

The 18-year-old was walking in the alley shortly before 10:30 p.m. when a large, black sport utility vehicle with custom rims drove past her and stopped.

The driver, a man in his 20s who was wearing a black hat, red shirt and black pants, produced a handgun and ordered the teen to, “Give me all your” stuff, police said.

The gunman said, “Don’t make me shoot you,” then grabbed the teen’s purse before heading back to the SUV.

A woman in the passenger seat of the SUV asked the armed robber, “Did you get it?” before they drove away, police said.
