Bolingbrook Woman Charged With Robbing Aurora Liquor Store

A Bolingbrook woman was jailed in connection with sticking up an Aurora liquor store last year.

Wynter Lopez, 36, was charged with aggravated robbery and robbery in connection with the hold-up on the city’s east side. She was arrested at her home Monday.

Lopez allegedly cased the Ogden Avenue liquor store in June 2014.

“She was captured on video making a small purchase and peering over the counter, looking into the cash register as change was being made,” according to a release from the Aurora police.

Moments after she walked out of the store, a man burst in and robbed the place at gunpoint, police said.

Lopez was reportedly tracked down through a Link card the police were able to trace.

“Video surveillance also allegedly shows Lopez with the male approaching the business from an apartment complex located at the rear of the building and entering an alleyway that runs adjacent to the liquor store,” police said. “She then enters the store, makes her purchase and leaves. As she walks back down the alleyway, the male offender, who is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and bandanna, walks past her before entering the store and robbing the clerk, making off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Both Lopez and her alleged accomplice are also seen fleeing back toward the apartment complex after the robbery.”

The cops are still looking for Lopez’s alleged accomplice.
