Oak Forest liquor store robbed

Three men robbed a liquor store at gunpoint Aug. 27, police said.

An employee of Foremost Liquors, 15211 Cicero Ave., said two men entered the store at 7:50 p.m., and one of them, who was wearing a mask, jumped over the counter, pointed a handgun at the clerk and ordered him and another employee to the floor, according to police.

They said the gunman emptied the contents of the cash register into a bag as a third man entered the store, and all three left through the back of the store .

A resident who lives near the store said he saw the three men enter an older white cargo van, which was parked near the store, and drive away east on 152nd Street.
