A group of armed robbers flipped a stolen vehicle while trying to evade police early Tuesday in north suburban Wilmette.
Wilmette officers located the vehicle minutes after the robbery, and attempted a traffic stop near 10th Street and Central Avenue, police said. The driver fled north on 10th Street, but rolled the vehicle off the roadway and into a parking lot at 1630 Sheridan Road.
As officers approached the vehicle, one of the suspects fired a gunshot through the windshield. No one was struck, and Wilmette police said officers did not return fire. With support from Kenilworth and Winnetka police, officers approached the vehicle a second time and took all three men into custody.
Officers recovered two semi-automatic handguns as well as the victim's belongings from inside the vehicle, police said. One of the suspects was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries as a result of the crash, according to officials.All the news you need to know, every day
