Chicago police are urging drivers not to leave their unattended vehicles running - whether at a gas station or on the street - following numerous separate thefts over a seven-day period, authorities said.
After being stolen, the vehicles were used to commit robberies and carjackings, in which vehicles were approached near ATMs, including freestanding ATMs and drive through ATMs, as well as those in bank vestibules. The suspects, according to police, then robbed the victims of cash, phones and their personal belongings.
Authorities say offenders are riding together in multiple stolen vehicles, and in some instances, exited vehicles brandishing rifles and handguns before demanding property, phones and passcodes.Get Chicago local news, weather forecasts, sports and entertainment stories to your inbox.Jan. 4 - 11:50 p.m. - 3200 block of South Harding - Vehicle TheftJan. 5 - 5:20 a.m. - 2300 block of West Cermak - Armed robberyJan. 5 - 5:50 a.m. - 1200 block of South Campbell - Armed robberyJan. 6 - 7:47 a.m.
