Victim’s screams thwart Rogers Park robbery

A woman’s screams were so loud, not only did her cries for help prompt a third party to dial 911, she apparently startled her mugger, too.

Around 3:51 a.m., a man tried to rob a woman on the 6500 block of North Greenview Avenue in Chicago’s Far North Side Rogers Park neighborhood, said police.

Authorities said when the woman screamed, the offender ran away without any proceeds.  

Because the victim never saw the suspect’s face, we believe the criminal must have approached the woman from behind.

While there are few details regarding the crook’s description, investigators said the mugger has an average height and build, and he was wearing a dark-colored, hooded sweatshirt.

The offender fled the scene in a black SUV and was last seen driving westbound on Albion; presumably, from Greenview Avenue.

  2. No, jumping out of your car and grabbing women from behind is common practice in some foreign lands to express your fondness or appreciation of them. It's "diversity" culture clash.

  4. Your stainless steel appliances and granite countertops are worth more than the real estate itself in "RoPa" (LOL). Glad I've seen this all before and didn't BUY into it.

    Yes, you're better off on ths south side in a single family home with bars on the windows and some "personal space" and peace of mind.

    1. You didn't buy into it because you couldn't afford it. Don't pretend you know everything, it makes the rest of your terrible overquoted illogical ramblings on this site look even worse.

  6. Here is another example of this site's veiled racism: The illustration on this page shows a white woman screaming. There is a far greater likelihood that the victim was African-American, but this site is bent on making crime in Chicago a case of Blacks and Hispanics victimizing whites.
