Sorry, we meant "multiple offender mass robberies" or similar such nonsense. But you really have to dig around to find anything about it:
- At last count, police arrested approximately ten people in connection with a string of strong arm robberies on Chicago's North Side.
At 8:06 p.m., an attempted robbery was reported on the 1100 block of West Lill Avenue, near Lill and Racine, in Lincoln Park.
According to police dispatch, the 911 caller said 10 to 15 male blacks tried to rob the caller's friends.
Investigators later confirmed that the incident was not an attempted robbery, but an actual strong arm robbery.
We hate to say it, but even a cold snap might not deter this crap. It's certainly going to be interesting going downtown to see the windows this year.
