A juvenile has been charged with a felony count of robbery, according to a recent report by the Chicago Police Department. The incident took place on September 23rd, just minutes before midnight when the 16-year-old male offender was apprehended in the vicinity of the 0-100 block of W. 95th St. Following an earlier altercation on a CTA platform located in the 100 block of W. 35th St., the teen was pinpointed as one of the culprits who forcefully took property from an 18-year-old male victim.
In the wake of the events, the juvenile, whose identity remains shielded by privacy laws, is due to face a detention hearing at the Juvenile Court at 1100 S. Hamilton. Running into the law's arms sometime around 11:52 p.m., the young suspect was placed into custody and subsequently charged. No additional information has been released at this moment about the conditions under which the offense was committed or whether any other suspects are involved.
The Chicago Police Department's brief on the matter provides scant details about the motivation behind the robbery or the nature of the items stolen.
