Rochelle police are investigating an armed robbery that allegedly took place in the downtown area yesterday evening.
The victim, a woman, informed police a short time before 8:30 that she was robbed at gunpoint at the DeLos and Ogle Hotel and Apartments on North Main Street by 2 male juveniles. A handgun was apparently used in the hold-up.
The 2 suspects, 1 white while the other black, allegedly stole money from the purse of the woman. They then left the hotel on foot.
Rochelle police say they plan to look at footage from cameras at the hotel as they continue their investigation.
Individuals at the hotel did not see anyone match the description of the 2 male subjects at this time.
