A 15-year-old girl has been charged with a series of felonies and a misdemeanor after she was identified as the suspect in a string of robberies and aggravated battery incidents that took place on Chicago's public transit system. According to the Chicago Police Department, her arrest took place on October 10, 2024, in the 1200 block of W. 109th St. She is now facing two felony counts of aggravated battery against a transit employee or passenger, one felony count of robbery, one felony count of attempted robbery, and one misdemeanor count of obstructing identification.
The allegations involve multiple victims across different districts on two consecutive days in May—on the 5th at around 9:20 p.m. in the 2400 block of N. Sheffield where a 19-year-old woman was targeted, the following day at 7:49 p.m. in the 1200 block of N. Clark involving a 26-year-old woman and another incident on the 6th at about 8:30 p.m. in the 100 block of W. Cermak where a 23-year-old female became the victim, as the Chicago police indicated. Her apprehension led to the subsequent charges, though the department has not disclosed further details about the case at this time.
The juvenile offender, whose identity remains protected due to her age, has been placed into custody and will face the juvenile justice system where the proceedings are tailored to address the rehabilitation of minors.
