2 illegal aliens charged with armed robbery of Little Village health food store

Benajmin Marrero, 29, of the 2600 block of West Cermak Road, and David Lopez, 31, of the 2800 block of the same street, were each charged with one count of armed robbery and aggravated kidnapping.
Police said that shortly after obtaining a detailed description of the robbery suspects from the 47-year-old  store owner whose hands and feet they had tied with duct tape, they found them near an ATM machine where they had withdrawn cash from the store owner's account.
Marrero and Lopez entered the store in the 3100 bock of West 26th Street shortly before noon Monday and asked for a particular brand of hand cream. The owner recalled Marrero visiting the store last week, requesting the same product.
The owner began walking toward the rear stock room when Marrero grabbed her while brandishing a screwdriver and announced a holdup. After tying her up with duct tape, they rummaged through her purse, taking a cell phone, car keys and a bank card, they said. They then forced open the cash register and fled in the store owner's car.
