At approximately 10:47 p.m., a suspect snatched a victim’s cell phone or iPad near the Addison Red Line CTA station, 940 West Addison Street, and fled the scene on a skateboard, said police.
Several officers chased the offender for several blocks, on foot, according to police dispatch reports.
The crook was described as a black male with dreadlocks, about 5’6’, wearing black shorts and a black shirt.
At 11:02 p.m., a suspect matching the thief’s description was apprehended on the 1100 block of West Waveland Avenue.
The suspect was later positively identified by the victim, said police.
Male black on a skateboard with dreadlocks...that's a tough one to pick out of a crowd.

ReplyDeleteRemember that scene from Coming To America w/Eddie Murphy?
ReplyDeleteI believe you are talking about the movie, Trading Place. :-)
ReplyDeleteSkateboards are suddenly cool again? I see them EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteNo, Coming To America. The short scene after the hoodrats stole Eddie's royal robes and crowns and are wearing them while skateboarding down the street.
ReplyDeleteWhen one (c)rapper does it, they all do it, so I suggest that P.Diddy pick up a grammar book and be seen with it often.
ReplyDeleteWrong clip, Tim. This one's for the Mag Mile.
ReplyDeleteAre there seriously this many racist and ignorant people living in Lakeview? Or do you just feel better saying these things about people from behind your computer screen? Disgusting!
