Chicago police are issuing public warnings after a rash of violent robberies on the city’s North Side in recent days, including two that happened within just minutes of one another.
A Bucktown couple says that they too were robbed in similar fashion.
“They looked really young. They looked like kids,” one of the victims, who chose to remain anonymous, said. “We had our lives at the mercy of teenagers with guns.”Surveillance footage captured a white Camry stopping in the street, with several assailants getting out. “I saw them get out of the car, and I said to him ‘run, that’s them,’ and I fell,” one of the victims said. “Luckily my phone dropped and they didn’t see it to take it.”
Some residents say that not enough is being done to keep them safe, and they’ve banded together to hire a private security firm to patrol the area. Two of the victims NBC 5 spoke to say that they hope that firm can work with police, and re-establish the safety of the neighborhood.This article tagged under:
