Police confirm all the robberies were carried out in a similar fashion.
By about 4:30 a.m. Friday, Chicago police had swarmed a gas station at Halsted and Addison streets in Wrigleyville, and appeared to be focused on a white sedan, which is the same vehicle description provided in a warning of at least four armed robberies on the North Side that appear to be linked.Police said the robberies all happened within a span of about 20 minutes.
The other two armed robberies happened right before that near Grace Street and Hoyne Avenue and another on North Leavitt Street.Police said all the victims in these robberies immediately complied, so no injuries were reported. In a fifth incident that appeared to involve suspects and a vehicle matching the same description, a 67-year-old man walking home in the 900-block of West Dakin Street about 2:45 a.m. was robbed.
Moments later, police saw the suspects near a white sedan with the man's property, CPD said. Those suspects were taken into custody, and Area Three detectives are investigating.
