On June 3, 2026, at approximately 2:56 a.m., Batavia Police Officers were dispatched to Windmill Market & Spirits, located in the 300 block of E. Wilson Street, for a business alarm.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a broken window on the front of the business. A search of the interior was conducted, and no individuals were located inside. Officers began an investigation and reviewed video surveillance footage.

The footage showed a silver or gray Chrysler van arriving at the business at approximately 2:45 AM after traveling southbound on N. Prairie Street.

Two suspects exited the vehicle, forced entry by breaking a window, and entered the store. It was later determined that the suspects removed an undetermined amount of cash and liquor. Both suspects then exited the store and got into the passenger side of the van, indicating the presence of at least a third suspect who remained in the vehicle. The van left the store before police arrived at 3:00 AM, traveling southbound on S. Prairie Street.

The two suspects who entered the business were wearing all black clothing and black masks. One suspect wore black gloves, and the other wore white gloves. It appeared there was one male and one female suspect. There is currently no description of the possible third suspect.

Officers are canvassing the surrounding area for additional video surveillance evidence. This case remains under investigation, and no further information is available at this time. Additional information will be released when it becomes available.

The Batavia Police Department is asking anyone in the area of N. Prairie Street, S. Prairie Street and anywhere near the store with video surveillance systems to check their footage on June 3, 2026, between 2:30 AM – 3:05 AM for the van or possible suspects. Anyone with footage or having information regarding this incident contact the Batavia Police Department at 630-454-2500.

Media inquiries should be directed to:
