Chicago Police are warning of a series of recent armed robberies that have taken place during the early evening hours inside garages just east of our neighborhood. The robbers have entered the garages while the victims were pulling in to park their cars, police said. Be aware of other vehicles in the alley and consider having someone look out for you as you get home.
Additionally, phones and iPods have been the target of strong arm robberies – users are walking down the street or riding the train with the volume turned up and they don’t hear anyone coming up behind them! Or when they are texting on their cell phones, they need to be more aware of what is occurring around them. Many times young adults or students will be so busy texting each other, they can’t recall any type of description of the offender(s). Please turn the volume down and be aware of who and what is around you!
