A 15-year-old male has been charged with armed robbery, according to Chicago Police Department reports. The teenager, whose identity has been withheld due to his juvenile status, allegedly robbed a 28-year-old woman at gunpoint in September.
The incident took place on the 7200 block of S. Honore in the city's 7th District. The young offender was apprehended on December 5 on the 700 block of N. Pulaski and is slated to appear for a juvenile detention hearing at 1100 S. Hamilton today. A single felony count of robbery armed with a firearm marks a severe allegation for the boy, who remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
Details surrounding the case are sparse, but the connection between the suspect and the September 20 armed robbery emerged after the authorities conducted an investigation leading to his arrest. The victim in the case was confronted and threatened, per police reports.
No additional information has been provided regarding the circumstances of the arrest or the specifics of the evidence against the accused juvenile.
