CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Police are investigating two robberies of letter carriers morning in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood.

The robberies happened 10 minutes apart-the first one took place at 117th Street and the second one happened just west of there at 117th and Halsted.

In both instances, the carriers were standing outside when someone approached them after getting out of an SUV.

That person then took out a firearm, demanded property, and left. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is urging anyone with information to call.
