The Chicago Police Department is investigating allegations of sexual assault involving two North Side officers, police said Wednesday night.
A 22-year-old woman was walking along Broadway near Granville Avenue in the Rogers Park Police District shortly after midnight Wednesday when two uniformed officers from the Town Hall District in a police SUV offered her a ride home, a police source told WGN-TV. The source said the woman got in the vehicle and was driven to her apartment.
The woman reported the officers followed her inside to her first-floor apartment and sexually assaulted her. The source said the officers left behind parts of their uniform and a cellphone.
There was no immediate explanation why the officers were outside their assigned district at the time of the alleged incident.
The investigation was initiated after the department was notified of the allegations Wednesday, police said in a statement.
The two accused officers have been relieved of their police powers pending an investigation.
