URBANA -- Police arrested one woman and are searching for a 15-year old suspect after an armed robbery. It happened at the Check 'n Go on Philo Road Tuesday afternoon.
26-year old Rebecca Tester goes to court Wednesday afternoon, but so far, police haven't said how she's connected to the robbery. Investigators say they're still looking for a 15-year old who allegedly showed a handgun and demanded money from the clerk at the business.
They reportedly know his name, but are not releasing that information. The teen is described as black with a light complexion. He's 5'10" with a thin build. He was wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt with a basketball graphic on the front. He had his hood pulled up over a white stocking cap.
