Lincoln Park: Woman robbed at gunpoint on Dayton Street


At approximately 12:28 a.m., a woman was robbed at gunpoint in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

The armed robbery happened on the 2600 block of North Dayton Street near Dayton and Schubert, said police.

Four male Hispanics and a female Hispanic, wearing dark-colored hooded sweatshirts and jeans, stole the woman’s purse, said investigators.

The offenders fled the scene westbound through an alley near Dayton and Wrightwood Avenue.

Police believe the crooks’ getaway car was parked in the alley.

    Looks like the summer of Lincoln Park robberies has begun. Reminds me of that case last year where that baseball bat wielding Puerto Rican came up behind two women and smashed them in their heads for their purses.
    Reportedly, one of the women, who returned to Ireland, remains in very poor condition.
    Another summer of looking over one's shoulder, watching out for all the diversity and "heat" coming up from behind.

    I don't think people realize how many robberies occur in Lincoln Park. Some people think we are a 100% crime-free neighborhood. Clearly that is not the case.

    I agree with the first Anonymous - and am really happy that EveryBlock.com keeps me up-to-date with stuff like this (I didn't even know Chicago News Report existed without finding it there). I found a link to this article and it took me here. You can get a daily update of crimes they email to you when you sign up.

    Everyone please attend your CAPS meetings. Don't let them down-play this! I recently went to one where the officer minimized these occurrences. If you live in the Gold Coast, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, etc -- you pay WAY more, why shouldn't you get appropriate protection for your tax money?

    Well, this is exactly why we need "Conceal & Carry" laws. Aren't we ultimately responsible for our own & our family's protection?
