The Grundy County Sheriff’s Office hopes to identify the suspect in an armed robbery that took place in Gruetli-Laager on Tuesday morning, September 17th, 2024.
Authorities say the suspect entered the Town Market on SR-108 just after 6:00 AM Tuesday, pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money. After receiving approximately $1,500, the suspect ordered the clerk to hand over their personal car keys and to get into the bathroom until they were gone.

Authorities say the subject is a male, wearing long pants with a tear in the knees. He had on a brown-tan colored American Eagle hoodie and was wearing a black bandana around his face.
They believe the suspect came from the wooded area across from the store. Upon leaving in the stolen vehicle, he turned left on SR-108 and then turned right onto 60th Avenue North.
