- Chicago police are warning the public about a series of four recent strong-arm robberies -- including two early Saturday -- in the Lincoln Park area during which a group of attackers severely beat victims and left them hospitalized.
The two robberies Saturday occurred at 3 a.m. in the 2000 block of North Cleveland Avenue and 3:36 a.m. in the 300 block of West Webster Avenue, police said in a news release. The release stated that two similar robberies took place Thursday at 2 a.m. in the 600 block of West Fullerton Parkway and at 2:05 a.m. in the 2100 block of North Stockton Drive.
In all four cases, the victims were approached from behind by several men believed to be in their early 20s, police said. The suspects demanded wallets and then beat the victims in the head and face.
But not a single physical characteristic of the offenders that might help warn a vigilant public and assist in the capture of the miscreants. It sure is amazing how far we've come as a society. And how far we've still got to go.
