A teen delinquent has been cuffed and charged with the strong-armed robbery of a 22-year-old man on a CTA train earlier this month, Chicago police said. The 17-year-old male, whose name has been withheld due to his age, is facing a felony count of robbery after allegedly implying he had a firearm and forcibly swiping the victim's possessions on a train in downtown Chicago, police explained.
Arrested on Wednesday in the 1100 block of N. Noble St., the juvenile suspect was tagged as one of the culprits in the March 1 incident which occurred around 5:56 p.m. within the confines of the Loop's 0-100 block of N. Wabash Ave., according to a Chicago Police Department release. Following the arrest, the accused was transported and charged, the CPD detailed.
Details about the robbery and the events leading up to the arrest remain scant, but authorities are continuing their investigation into the case. The juvenile offender, transported after being identified by authorities, is awaiting further legal action. There were no reported injuries to the victim in the robbery.
