Several minutes past midnight, Chicago police officers were investigating a robbery at a north side CTA train station.
The armed robbery occurred around 12:13 a.m. at the Jarvis CTA “L” stop at 1523 West Jarvis Avenue in Rogers Park.
Two African-American men wearing black face masks with "pointed noses", robbed the victim at gunpoint.
The victim, who lives in Rogers Park, called police from his home.
UPDATE: The thieves stole $1,700.00 from the victim. Both suspects are believed to be 17 to 18-years-old.
Initially, authorities said the robbery occurred at the Jarvis "L" station, but the official address of occurrence on the police report puts the crime scene at 7800 North Sheridan Road - along the lakefront.
Thanks again for reporting the "real" stories Timothy (and for including the "4 w's" that I learned in journalism class back in 1979 but other Chicago news sources now consider them to be "un-PC").

ReplyDeleteWho the hell walks around with that kind of money in their pockets in THAT neighborhood? No wonder these ghetto thugs make robbery their full time job!
ReplyDelete...and at that time of night? I am not excusing what these criminals did to this man, but that's a lot of money.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the victim had just cashed his paycheck.
