Around 3:02 a.m., a 7-Eleven employee at 1055 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, reported a man for making threats.
According to the complainant, the suspect had his hand in his pocket and was possibly armed with a gun.
When police arrived at the Edgewater neighborhood store, they chased the man into a nearby apartment building at 5527 North Kenmore Avenue.
Officers were unable to get inside, because the entrance was locked.
The suspect was described as a male black wearing a black jacket and blue jeans.
Because this incident had a familiar ring to it, I checked my archives for similar occurrences at the same location.
Guess what I found?
On January 13, 2011, an African American suspect robbed the same store. He also implied he had a gun. Click HERE to read the entire article.
On January, 16, 2011, the suspect returned, but fled the scene when the clerk recognized him and called police. Click HERE to read the details.
I’m no Garry McCarthy, but I think I just solved three crimes with one stone.
I nominate Timothy for Chief of Police:)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I'm Bryn Mawr, I've noticed some pretty shady looking characters hanging around there. Oops, guess "shady" isn't "PC"...oh well!
Oh, no! (Hold me closer) tiny dancer... I mean the mayor and I probably wouldn't get along.
ReplyDeleteThe Peterson bus only runs two times an hour as far as I can tell, it's a damn shame when you get off the train you get harassed for twenty minutes or so by a cavalcade of shady characters
ReplyDeleteI checked out a nice condo to rent right about there. After checking out the neighborhood, getting a feel it, over a couple of days (i.e. daylight). No thanks!
ReplyDeleteA friend just moved to Winthrop north of Bryn Mawr. After leaving there after dusk one night, I won't be visiting again. Sorry.
It's a shame, right near your lakefront.
