CHICAGO - Police are investigating two armed robberies reported Sunday evening in Chicago’s Uptown and Lake View neighborhoods.
What we know:
The robberies happened about 30 minutes apart and involved the same suspects and vehicle, according to a CPD community alert.
In both incidents, two men exited a black Chevrolet Equinox and entered businesses while wearing dark clothing and masks. Police said the suspects announced a robbery and ordered employees to open the cash registers while one of the men displayed a handgun.
In the first incident, which happened just after 5 p.m. in the 4700 block of North Marine Drive in Uptown, the suspects placed cash into a bag before fleeing. About 30 minutes later, a second robbery was reported in the 3000 block of North Clark Street in Lake View, where the suspects fled with the entire cash register, police said.
No injuries were reported in either robbery.
