MEADOWBROOK — Two masked men held up the Meadowbrook Casey’s General Store at gunpoint Monday night, escaping on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

There were no injuries.

A Madison County Sheriff’s Office press release says its deputies responded to the store, 5256 State Route 140, at 11:38 p.m. after receiving a report of an armed robbery. Troopers from the Illinois State Police and officers from the Bethalto Police Department assisted the deputies.

“The investigation revealed the suspects entered the business at approximately 11:33 pm, both armed with black pistols, demanding money,” the release says. “The attendants cooperated with the suspects, who fled the area on foot, with an undisclosed amount of U.S. Currency. A perimeter was set up and a Granite City Police Department canine unit responded, but the suspects were not apprehended.”

The Sheriff’s Department says both suspects are young males 16-20 years old who weigh 130 to 150 pounds.

The first suspect, of unknown race, is 5-feet, 6 inches to 5-feet, 8 inches tall. He was wearing a white mask similar to an airsoft or paintball mask, black hoodie with an Asian symbol on the front, black jeans and black and white shoes.

The second suspect is white with brown shaggy hair. He wore all black — clothing, shoes and sunglasses — except for a blue bandana covering his nose and mouth.

Surveillance photos released by the Sheriff’s Department show Suspect 1 standing at the door during the robbery, while the second suspect approaches the counter.
