A man was robbed at gunpoint late Monday on Chicago's far North Side, and police arrested three teenagers about an hour later after linking them to that holdup and an attempted robbery 30 minutes earlier.

What we know:

Police said the teens, ages 15, 16 and 17, robbed a 44-year-old man at 10 p.m. in the 6600 block of North Maplewood Avenue.

Then, at 10:54 p.m., the group allegedly tried to rob a 42-year-old man in the 2200 block of West Winona Street.

About a half hour after that, at 11:22 p.m., the suspects were taken into custody in the 2500 block of West Bryn Mawr Avenue.

Each teen is charged with one felony count of armed robbery and one felony count of attempted armed robbery. The 17-year-old also faces a misdemeanor for obstructing identification.
