CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Two teens are charged with armed robbery after, Chicago police said, they held up two women earlier this week on the Northwest Side.

Chicago police said they found a gun when they arrested the teens near Fulton and Western Monday night at around 9:40 p.m. The 15 and 16-years-old are accused of first holding up a woman near North Avenue and Rockwell then, minutes later, a 51-year-old woman near Armitage and Mozart.

They’re due in court today and face felony gun charges, but there’s no word about a third suspect police detained after, Chicago Police News Affairs said, the car they were in crashed.
