Police catch suspects in attempted Red Line robbery, but they may have walked


Police caught several potential suspects wanted for an attempted robbery downtown, but the alleged offenders may have gone scot-free.

At approximately 7:57 p.m., a third party caller reported an attempted robbery at a downtown, CTA Red Line subway station.

The 911-caller said five male blacks snatched a commuter’s cell phone at the Monroe “L” stop.

The victim retrieved his property and left the scene, said the tipster.

One offender was described as 5’10”, wearing a burgundy shirt and burgundy Adidas shoes.

At 7:59 p.m., police stopped four black male subjects on the 1100 block of South State Street, near Roosevelt and State.

According to an officer at the scene, one of the subjects was wearing a burgundy shirt and burgundy Adidas shoes.

It’s unclear if any arrests were made, because police were unable to speak with the victim.

  1. I just figured out why I don't like the local news:
    In addition to excess sports coverage, every other story features a tearful elderly black female because "they kid got shawt" or some other scary looking people organizing another useless anti-violence march.
    Guess what black people? You've had over 150 years to get your act together.
    Other cultures have had it much harder for much longer, look at the Jews, never do you see Jews opening fire on Germans riding the El or flashmobbing middle eastern neighborhoods and businesses,wrecking their *hit.
    Boo hoo whitey stole my dreams!
    Get your act together quick before your civil rights go bye-bye.

    White people destroy every country they land on. There are no bigger thieves than white people! Look what they did to America!!!!!!! We are bankrupt and a laughingstock around the world. Don't get me started on the filthy Jews! The Jews are the main reason for the conflict between the Palestinians!

  3. @FUWWC,
    You wouldn't know how to "get started" on anything because you are like all the rest of the ghetto thugs, in total denial of your role in ANYTHING. Black people enslaved their own people way before white people did...read your history on Egypt fool and they STILL enslave their own people. Oh, and lets not "get started" on black on black crime, it's rampant. It's not white people who destroy neighborhoods, you do that all on your own!

    Wanna stop racism (your favorite word) wanna stop profiling? Then try joining the human race and STOP the violence against EVERYONE! FOOL!

    Oh, and try being original with your name..
