CHICAGO -- Two more violent robberies were reported in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood Wednesday evening as police warned about more than 20 similar attacks in the area over the past two months.
"As I was pulling up to work, I saw three young ladies talking to many police," said William Gold, who works nearby.Police said just after 7 p.m. a group of eight surrounded a woman on the sidewalk of North Sheffield just a few yards east of Belmont Avenue. Investigators said two of them teamed up, pushing her to the ground, punching her and kicking the woman in the face as they stole her personal property, and quickly ran off.
About a half hour later around the corner at the Belmont Red Line stop, police rushed to reports of another group robbery. Police said a 31-year-old woman was riding the CTA Red Line when five people tried to steal from her. A struggle ensued, and when another woman tried to intervene, the suspects tried to rob her as well before giving up and fleeing the scene. No injuries were reported, and no one is in custody, police said.
