Lawrence cell phone store robbery suspect arrested in Illinois

An affidavit details a late evening robbery at a Lawrence cellphone store carried out by two armed suspects in black attire. They bound and gagged two employees, stole 80 to 100 cellphones, then fled in a white Subaru. Police linked the crime to Chambers via vehicle and residence trail, and he was arrested October 10, 2022, in a Lawrence apartment with a Glock 17 and gloves found in his vehicle. Chambers denied involvement at first, later offering inconsistent statements. He posted $30,000 bond and awaits a February 14 status conference. The female suspect remains unidentified and police seek tips at 785-832-7509.
