Thieves armed to the teeth staged a pre-dawn heist at a Subway on Chicago's Southwest Side, making off with a loaf of cash instead of footlongs, police say. Two men barged into the sandwich shop located at the 6400 block of West 63rd Street around 3 a.m., brandishing firearms and demanding dough—both the greenbacks from the register and personal property of the lone worker on shift, according to a report from CBS Chicago.
The robbers, who weren't shy about using force, punched one of the employees for fumbling with the store's safe, as per the victim's account. They swiped a cool $700 and dismantled the shop's watchful eye by ripping out the security camera system, then skedaddled in an untraceable direction, demonstrating a level of cunning that's become all too common in the city's perpetual crime saga. Still, despite their escape, no arrests were announced to throw these sandwich shop looters in the cooler.
The 48-year-old male manager recounted having a gun pressed to his temple, a harrowing standoff that prompted him to yield to the robbers' demands. The manager, while physically unharmed, witnessed the assailants vanish with hundreds of bucks, a sum that's yet to be tossed back into the right hands, as stated in ABC7 Chicago.
