Two men, armed with a “large caliber” handgun, robbed a woman on Chicago’s northwest side.
Robbery occurred around 10 p.m. near the intersection of West Diversey Avenue and North Whipple Street.
Both thieves are Hispanic men, said police.
One offender was wearing a dark blue Addison jacket with a scarf over his face.
The second suspect is approximately 20-years-old, 5’6” to 5’7”, 150 to 160 lbs, and has acne scares on his face. He also had a light beard. This man was last seen wearing a dark gray jacket with a hood and a black scarf over his face.
The crooks stole the robbery victim’s light brown purse, a pink wallet, keys, and $50.00.
Both offenders were last seen running northbound through an alley at 3430 West Diversey Avenue.

AGAIN, Jody Weis says "violent crime is down"...where would that be, "Iceland" because it sure isn't down here. Maybe he needs to start reading the CNR:)
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should start walking the streets alone - without his gun. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe've had a huge rash of muggings in Avondale around the same area. Mostly women are targeted. These guys have to be caught before they kill someone!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%! Robberies can turn to murders very quickly.
