EXCLUSIVE REPORTApril 4, 2008 - The Bench - An armed man with a lisp and a silver revolver robbed the same store twice this week in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood.
Mega Dollar Day Plus, 7100 N. Clark Street, was robbed at gunpoint this evening at 7:45 by a man described as black, six feet tall, husky, wearing a beige hoody and dark gray pants. One of his upper front teeth has a portion missing, which causes him to pronounce words with "S" in them with a lisp.
Dave is the owner of the store at N. Clark and W. Estes. At 8:15 p.m., he told The Bench that the same man robbed him at 6:30 p.m. on Monday of this week.
"Both times, he put the gun at my stomach, like this," Dave said, gesturing at his belly. "He told me, 'give me all your money.'" Dave has owned Mega Dollar Days Plus for 13 years, and has never been robbed before this week.
The store has no video system, but Dave says they are in the process of installing one. There is speculation that the robber lives in or near Rogers Park because he robbed the same place twice within one week. As of 9:45 p.m., The Bench has no report of anybody being arrested in this case. The robber fled on foot.
