Fox Lake Police Obtains Arrest Warrants for Two Suspects
Fox Lake, IL - The Fox Lake Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for an armed robbery that occurred on February 10, 2024, at approximately 6:50 AM in the area of Grace Ave and Rolland Pl in Fox Lake.
Investigators determined the victims were followed home after they won a considerable amount of money at the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines. After arriving at their residence, the victims exited their vehicle and were confronted by a male subject who pointed a handgun at them and tore a paper bag from the victim's hands, which was believed to contain the money. The male subject fled the scene on foot before getting into a vehicle and fleeing at a high rate of speed. Neither victim was injured during the robbery.
With the assistance of the Rivers Casino security and license plate recognition cameras, investigators were able to identify Marcell Britton of Chicago and Aramie Kent of Maywood as the subjects who followed the victims.
Charges were approved by the Lake County States Attorney's Officer for Armed Robbery (720 ILCS 5/18-2(a)(2) a class X felony, Aggravated Robbery (720 ILCS 5/18-1(b)(1) a class 1 felony and Robbery of a Victim 60+ (720 ILCS 5/18-1(a) a class 1 felony.
