GLENVIEW, Ill. (WGN) — A second man accused in the armed holdup of a Glenview couple just steps away from their front door is now facing a felony charge.
The armed robbery unfolded in late April outside of a home in suburban Glenview as the couple was returning home from dinner in Chicago.
On Tuesday morning, police in the Village of Glenview announced that 21-year-old Amarion Ray-Williams, a Dolton resident, has been charged with a felony count of armed robbery with a firearm.
The charge against Ray-Williams stems from his alleged role in the holdup which unfolded around 10 p.m. on April 21, outside a home in the 1700 block of Bluestem Lane.
During the robbery, the couple, identified as Angie Beltsos Poulos and Gregory Poulos, tossed their phones and even took their jackets off as they complied with the armed robbers.
Video captured by the couple’s doorbell camera shows the armed thieves approach the home with guns drawn.
In an interview with WGN-TV, the victim said the video did not even capture what they considered to be the most horrifying part of the encounter when the armed suspects allegedly forced them to lie facedown on the ground.
“I was thinking to myself as I was lying on the ground, ‘Is this it? This is how it’s going to end? Execution style with guns pointing at us?’ and we had to put our heads down and there was a pause and they ran off,” Angie said.
Following the robbery, police say the robbers drove off in a Jaguar SUV that was stolen out of Georgia.
The vehicle was later found by state troopers abandoned in Bronzeville.
Ray-Williams was taken into custody on Monday and is currently being held by the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. He is set to appear for a conditions hearing on Tuesday.
Ray-Williams is the second person to be charged in connection with the robbery.
Last week, authorities announced charges against 26-year-old Angelo Hatter, a Chicago resident.
Hatter was charged with one felony count of armed robbery with a firearm.
Glenview police say an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the robbery is asked to contact the Glenview Police Tip Line at (847) 901-6055.
