The robbery occurred near 2700 West North Avenue, near the intersection of West North and Fairfield Avenues, in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood.
The offender was described as a Hispanic man with a dark complexion and a mark or blemish on one side of his face. He is approximately 20-years-old and has a medium build. The suspect was last seen riding a red and silver, or red and chrome bike.
Authorities said the crook stole the victim's purse containing a cell phone and $16.00.
That's Humboldt Park, not Logan Square. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_Park,_Chicago
ReplyDeleteLemme guess, the geographically-challenged Sun Times ID it as Logan Square, right?
btw, there's been a lot of muggings in the real LS. Check out Avondale Logan Square Crime Blotter.
yeah, this is Humboldt. we have plenty of shennanagins and tomfoolery going on in Logan Square these days though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing that mistake to my attention. The oversight has been corrected. :-)

ReplyDeleteTowanda, last night I was watching a crime show on cable. They showed video of thieves on motorcycles, robbing passengers as they got off the bus. The crime happened overseas.
