Mass Transit detectives have released surveillance images of three people wanted for committing a robbery spree on the Red Line late Tuesday night. CWBChicago first reported on the crimes Wednesday afternoon.
Police said the robbers mugged their first victim near Bryn Mawr around 10:50 p.m. and forced him off a train at a station north of Uptown. He told police that five or six males wearing hoodies punched him repeatedly in the face and took his phone, glasses, and AirPod case.
Another robbery occurred near the Sheridan station shortly after that. A man reported he boarded at Howard and was mugged by five to seven people somewhere between Wilson and Sheridan. The group punched him, took his phone, opened his backpack, and took his bank cards. He declined medical attention.
