Two Waukegan men were arrested in an armed robbery at a suburban Chicago supermarket

BEACH PARK, Ill. (CBS) — Two men were arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a Beach Park convenience store last month.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday the arrests of Bryan Campos, 26, and Caden Hernandez, 21, both of Waukegan.

On April 20, just after 11:30 a.m., officers responded to the store in the 37700 block of North Green Bay Road for an armed robbery. Officers spoke with the employee, who was not injured.

The investigation into the robbery revealed that the suspect, later identified as Campos, was wearing a face covering, yellow coat, tan pants and gloves when he entered the store, displayed a firearm and demanded money. He then left the store after taking cash from the clerk’s register, the office said.

A Lake County Sheriff’s K9 team responded and tracked the robber. However, the trail ended at the end of a dead end, indicating the perpetrator likely fled the scene in a vehicle, according to the office. Sheriff’s evidence technicians recovered evidence and sent it to the crime lab for analysis.

Sheriff’s investigators developed several leads that suggested Campos was responsible for committing the armed robbery. On April 21, investigators collected enough evidence to obtain a search warrant for Campo’s home. During the search, investigators found the hat, jacket, pants and face covering Campos wore during the robbery.

Investigators later obtained an arrest warrant for Campos on aggravated robbery charges and he was taken into custody on Sunday. He was in possession of a firearm when he was arrested, authorities said.

Sheriff’s investigators also determined that Hernandez was the getaway driver for Campos and was arrested by investigators on April 21. The Lake County District Attorney approved charges of aiding and abetting a fugitive for Hernandez.

Hernandez was released after a hearing and is scheduled to appear in court again on Thursday.

At a detention hearing Tuesday, the Lake County District Attorney’s Office upgraded the charge against Campos to armed robbery and ordered him held in the Lake County Jail pending further court proceedings.

Campos is due back in court on June 4.
