CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Chicago Police are alerting the public to a string of more than five dozen armed robberies in the past three-and-a-half weeks on the North and Northwest Sides.
Open the email advisory from the Chicago Police Department about the armed robberies and the list goes on and on, as you scroll through 62 robberies.
Police said the robberies started on June 23, and the most recent was Monday, three on Monday, actually.
Most of the armed robberies were late at night or early in the morning, sometimes just a couple of minutes apart on the North and Northwest Sides. In each case, police said the robbers would get out of a vehicle, show that they were armed and rob people, sometimes taking their cars and, in several of the cases, battering the victims.
The police alert said the robbers are men, sometimes two of them, sometimes as many as five, 18 to 25-years-old, wearing dark clothing and black ski masks.
