Three juveniles have been placed under arrest after an armed robbery incident, as reported by the Chicago Police Department. The young men, aged 14 and 16, face serious felony and misdemeanor charges following their apprehension by the Citywide Robbery Task Force.
The trio was caught on July 14, just before 8 p.m., on N. Western and N. Kedzie after they had allegedly managed to, less than an hour prior, rob a 47-year-old man at gunpoint. The male victim, attacked in the 2900 block of N. Mango, reported his personal property stolen. These juveniles are currently facing one felony count each of armed robbery and additional charges for their possession of a stolen vehicle.
The vehicle in question was reported missing on July 13 from the 3600 block of N. Avondale, a mere day before the arrest. The police have connected the juveniles to the stolen car, though details of their involvement remain largely unreported. A juvenile detention hearing is set for today, July 15th, at the courthouse located at 1100 S. Hamilton.
No further information has been disclosed at this moment, and the investigation is ongoing. Officers involved in the arrest gave no additional details about the case or the tactics used to quickly apprehend the suspects after the crime was committed.
