2 Male supspects wanted in several Northwest Side business robberies

 

 

 

 

 

A week ago, there was a string of brazen business robberies that shook the Northwest Side of Chicago. The incident sent an alarm to all the local residents and business owners, who urged the police to take stringent action against the two suspects believed to commit the crimes. These thefts reportedly occurred in Jefferson Park and Albany Park from February 13 through February 16, within a four-day period. Most of these criminal incidents have taken place during late evening into the early morning hours when businesses were less crowded. According to the police reports, thieves ran away with cash and merchandise worth a lot, hence incurring great losses for the establishments affected. The police have called upon those who may have information about these robberies to come forward, reiterating appeals for community awareness and cooperation in the continuing hunt for the suspects.

 

Event Time and Locations: 

• 3500 block of North Pulaski Road on Feb. 13, at 5:24 p.m. 
• 3500 block of North Cicero Avenue on Feb. 15, at 11:35 p.m. 
• 6500 block of West Belmont Avenue on Feb. 16, at 12:23 a.m.

The first suspect that the police identified was an Black American man. His height was approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall. This gentleman was noted for having a slim build; this made him appear agile. He was attired with the following clothing: a black jacket and a black hooded sweatshirt, which made it easy to camouflage into the surroundings. He also wore bright purple pants, which was a very bright color contrast to his dark-colored upper garments.

The description of the second suspect is a White Hispanic male. He was described to be around 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall. He had an average build and therefore, one would say, was not something that would impress upon anyone's minds as being out of the ordinary. He was also wearing dark clothes: a black hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants to essentially make himself less noticeable. His black shoes completed the outfit, further making his entire outfit dark.

On February 4th, several robberies occurred within about an hour and a half across the Northwest Side. These were said to have occurred at places such as the 4300 block of North Kedzie Avenue and the 3100 block of West Irving Park Road. Although both took place in Irving Park, these incidents gave a notion of insecurity and un-comfortability to all the locals and business owners in the area. Since these robberies struck one after the other, law forces had to act swiftly to track down and bring into custody those who committed such crimes.
