Police in Oak Lawn are searching for three suspects wanted for stealing from a tobacco shop Tuesday in the southwest suburb.

Around 5 p.m., three people entered Tobacco Island, 11051 S. Cicero Ave. The clerk was checking one of the suspect's IDs when they noticed the other two suspects grab merchandise from behind a display case and run out of the store.
