ROCHELLE — The Rochelle Police Department is investigating a robbery that took place Monday afternoon.
The actual incident happened in the 100 block of First Avenue at 2:25 p.m. The victim said she was approached by someone she knew who asked for money. When she pulled out her wallet to give them a few dollars, the alleged perpetrator grabbed her wallet and took off, taking all her money.
The victim then walked to the Casey’s General Store on South Seventh Street where police were contacted. Because the victim and the alleged robber are minors and students, the department’s resource officer who works in the schools, Officer Jim Jakymiw, was called in to conduct the investigation which is ongoing.
