CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has announced a $150,000 reward to anyone who offers a tip that leads to finding suspects in two different 2022 postal worker robberies.
Both occurred on the West Side, the first being on Sept. 15, 2022, at around 12:15 p.m. The USPS said a man, between the ages of 20-25 and described as 6’1’’ and wearing a red hoodie and ski mask, approached a letter carrier on Washington Boulevard and near Lockwood and robbed a letter carrier at gunpoint. He then fled the scene in an early-2000s Audi.
A few months later, on Nov. 26, a letter carrier was robbed on Van Buren near Throop, shortly after 11:30 a.m. In this instance the male suspect, described as 20-25-years-old, around 5’7’’ tall, thin, and wearing a black ski-mask, dark-colored hoodie and blue jeans, approached the mail carrier with a gun and robbed them. He then jumped into a 2018 Gray Jeep Compass that had an Indiana dealer tag registration of 69304B and left the area.
Both suspects are considered armed and dangerous, and the USPS advises residents to not try to apprehend them on their own.
