Suspects face kidnapping charges after Midlothian liquor store standoff

Three suspects arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a suburban liquor store will face charges of aggravated kidnapping and several other felonies in connection with the incident.

According to authorities in Midlothian, the three suspects will all face felony charges of aggravated kidnapping and armed robbery in connection with the robbery, which took place Thursday at Emporium Liquor in the 3900 block of West 147th Street.

One of the suspects will also face charges for violating his parole, while another will face charges of aggravated fleeing of a peace officer.
