Two people were robbed when they were in their car in Wicker Park early on Saturday.
The victims were parked in the 2000 block of West North Avenue when two men approached the vehicle around 4:28 am from behind, according to provisional information. Both robbers showed weapons, opened the car doors and ordered the victims to get out.
After they had received a wallet from one man and a phone from the other, the robbers in a white vehicle may escaped a Hyundai. They were described as only black men who wore black ski masks.
After the robbery, the victims returned to their car and drove to the Shakespeare district station (14th) in Logan Square to submit a report. Robberies in the district, who have suffered from apparently endless waves of armed robbery for almost three years, are 39% fall Compared to 2024.

CWBCHICAGO was founded in 2013 by five residents of Wigleyville and Boystown who had been discouraged with inaccurate information that was provided during meetings of the local community policing (CAPS). Our coverage area has since been expanded to cover Lincoln Park, River North, De Loop, Uptown and other North Side areas. But our mission remains unchanged: to provide original reporting of public safety with a better context and more detail than regular media. Our editorial e -mail address is news@cwbchicago.com
