Trio Charged With Slew Of Armed Robberies In Aurora
Three men have been charged with a string of armed robberies that occurred in late October in west suburban Aurora.
Martell White, 25, of the 15000 block of Madison Avenue in Dolton; Charles Campbell, 27, of the 1500 block of North Lorel Avenue; and Derrick Glasper, 27, of the 100 block of North 23rd Avenue in Bellwood, were each charged with three counts of armed robbery Tuesday, according to a statement from Aurora police.
The trio robbed Payday Loan on Oct. 28 in the 900 block of East New York in Aurora, police said. They also robbed an AutoZone in the 1000 block of East Galena and a Marathon gas station in the 1700 block of North Farnsworth on Oct. 30, according to police.
During the robberies, the men would bind employees with zip ties and demand money at gunpoint, police said.
A vehicle used in the robbery – a white SUV – was captured on camera after the driver blew a toll on I-88 a few minutes after the men robbed the Marathon gas station, police said.
All three men were already in Cook County Jail on other charges. Police said they were able to secure charges after interviewing the three suspects and the victims of the robberies.
Bond hearings for the three in Kane County are pending and further details were not available.
