Saw a lot of squads at the corner of Granville & Sheridan Rd about that time. I think this is about 6300 N Sheridan Rd. Police were talking to someone in an SUV though I could not see the driver. Must not have been the robber because he was let go...and traffic began moving again:)
ReplyDeleteSo Leroy came all the way from the ghetto south side to rob a bank in Evanston? Why didn't that lazy punk rob a bank in his own rotten roach infested hood? Black people are a shameful bunch of misfits.
ReplyDelete'cuz there isn't any money in the banks on the south side.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear they caught this one.
