Another series of brutal armed robberies appeared on Thursday morning in an area that was hit by a similar wave of surpluses just a few hours earlier. The Chicago police have now spent a community alert on the last crimes.
In each of the raids on Thursday, armed men arrived in a black Acura -Sedan, left the vehicle, waved pistols and took ownership of victims before fled. In one incident, a victim was cut gun, the police said.
The first robbery took place at 10:12 am when a woman was attacked in the alley behind the 200 block of North Elizabeth Street. Witnesses that eliminate the waste observed crime and called 911.
Only 11 minutes later, at 10:23 am, three victims were robbed in the 400 block of North Ashland Avenue in West Town. The police suspect that the same group of perpetrators is responsible.
At 10:29 am the crew struck again in the 800 block of South Claremont Avenue in Tri-Taylor, where several victims reported that they had held guns on their heads during the robbery.
The warning described the robbers as three black men between 20 and 30 years old. They are 6 feet up to 6’2 ”long, weigh 140 to 170 pounds and wear hoodies with black ski tongers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact three investigators on 312-744-8263 or to submit an anonymous tip on CPDTIP.com, referring to case #P25-3-031.

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
