Chicago police said a group of 2 to 3 robbers are targeting people leaving bars on Elm Street in Gold Coast inebriated, and then robbing them.
"What's unique about these offenders is that they are not displaying a weapon. They don't have a gun. They don't have a knife. They don't need to, because their victims are inebriated," said 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins.
"There's been some things going on this block, late night hours, and it's scary to hear about," said Connor Rucinski, resident. CPD said there have been three strong armed robberies within the last three weeks on that one block. The most recent one happened Saturday. "And, we believe they're choosing that block, specifically, because one of the bars on that block has a late-hour license and the patrons tend to walk out, maybe having a few drinks too many. So, the offenders view them as easy targets for a robbery," he said.
