Dear Neighbors,
Sunday evening, November 17, several strong-armed (unarmed) robberies took place in our neighborhood. Police believe that the same crew or crews committed these offenses. Police arrested one group of juveniles, but police are seeking video of any of these incidents.
In each incident, multiple offenders approached the victims, attacked them using physical force, took or attempted to take their property, and then fled.
Incident times and locations:
- 100 block of West Maple St.
- 400 block of North Lower Wabash Dr.
- 1100 block of West Dickens Ave.
- 1700 block of N. North Park Ave.
- 1100 block of North Clark St.
- 200 block of West Eugenie St.
About the Offenders:
- 2-5 Male, African Americans, 14-25 years of age
- 1 Female, African American, 14-18 years of age
Because of the nature of these offenses, it is often difficult for witnesses to make an identification.
If you live on any of the blocks mentioned, please help our police by checking your home video to see if you have any video from Sunday evening.
If you have any information or video, please call Area Central Detectives at
(312) 747-8380. Refer to matter numbers JC514212, JC514311, JC514360, JC514410, JC514438, JC514489
