A group of armed robbers terrorized parts of Chicago’s Northwest Side earlier this month, with 13 robberies occurring on a single day.
Chicago police released footage of the suspects, brandishing handguns and rifles and demanding property from individuals inside of their cars in neighborhoods.
According to police, many of the March 16 robberies occurred in the Logan Square and North Austin neighborhoods, but several other areas were also targeted.
Police say that a group of four-to-five suspects, brandishing handguns, knives and rifles, have been perpetrating the crimes. The assailants wore black ski masks, black joggers, black jeans, and black hoodies.
Suspects approach victims, threaten to strike the victims with handguns and steal property, according to police.
